We’re thinking about putting together a FREE navigation meet-up 🧭🏃‍♂️

Perfect for anyone wanting to learn, practice, or improve navigation skills in a fun low-pressure environment. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, everyone would be welcome.

Who would be interested?

We are now just 4 months out from the Coastal Traverse 12-hour Adventure Race in Lewes, Delaware and you won't want to miss this one! This is going to be an amazing course and we hope to see many of you out there to race with us on September 26.

Some of the things that are going to make this race extra special...

Our first linear course: We are excited to be putting on our first point-to-point adventure race, meaning the ability to venture into new areas and less "out and back" then a race with a central transition area.

New areas: Some of our course will be in new areas of coastal Delaware that have never before seen an adventure race before. Come and experience these natural gems for the first time while racing with your best friends.

Epic paddle: The paddle this year is a scenic beauty, and on more sheltered waterways then paddles in our past coastal races. This is one you will probably talk about for years to come!

Great distance for all racers: This course has nearly 20 miles of distance that can be shaved off along the way with optional checkpoints, so there is plenty of challenge for experienced teams attempting a full course clear, while allowing newer teams the chance to complete the minimum mandatory course in just a little over 30 miles.

Space is limited! Once boat supplies run out we will be closing registration, so don't wait too long to sign up!

Hope to see you all there,

The Delmarva Adventure Sports Crew

A little bit about The Coastal Traverse

The International Adventure Racing Association recently began classifying adventure races into four categories: Discovery, Challenge, Endurance, and Expedition.

The Coastal Traverse falls into the Challenge category — a step above entry-level Discovery races.

Challenge races introduce participants to increased endurance, navigation, and logistics while avoiding the need for overnight racing and sleep-deprivation strategies often found in longer expedition events.

The Coastal Traverse will feature:
• 12 hours
• 3 disciplines
• Navigation throughout the course
• A linear course with a minimum of 32 miles

Teams will travel point-to-point by foot, bike, and paddle while navigating their way across Delmarva’s incredible landscapes.

Built for adventure, strategy, teamwork, and exploration.

Space will be limited so sign up soon!!

Let’s talk teamwork.

Race solo or build a team of 2, 3, or 4.

Adventure racing is about more than fitness — it’s about problem solving, teamwork, and experiencing the adventure together.

Some of the strongest friendships are built in the middle of shared challenges.

Who’s on your team?

Adventure is closer than you think.

This isn’t just a race — The Coastal Traverse will be a journey across the landscapes that define the Delmarva coast.

Bridges, waterways, trails, and places most people drive past without ever exploring.

This fall, teams will bike, paddle, trek, and navigate their way through an unforgettable 12-hour adventure.

05/15/2026

Adventure racing is unlike anything else — in just 12 hours, you can journey through incredible places using nothing but your own grit and skill. From biking and trekking to paddling and navigation, every mile is powered by teamwork, endurance, and leads somewhere unforgettable.

As a homeschool family who loves adventure and spending time together, it’s important to us to weave our business naturally into our everyday lives. Today’s adventure was in the form of race scouting which, took us to some unique coastal forest and trails that I have never explored before! We are excited to show you more of what Delaware’s coast has to offer.
