It's been just a bit over 2 weeks since the team competed at the USARA National championships at Snowshoe Mountain . I don't think there has been a day where we haven't thought about this race at some point, Christopher Smith Josh McKinney Ben Daniel. I think this was the toughest race we have ever completed, rough weather made for slow travel and rough conditions but we endured. HUGEST of thank you's to Adventure Enablers for the free entry from our participation in the 2024 . Head to Josh's page for a fantastic race summary, he nailed it!! Cheers to doing dope s**t in the woods with friends!! Thanks to Adventure Addicts Racing for putting a fantastic course together.

Last Saturday Josh, Chris, and Ben Daniel competed in the East Fork 12hr Adventure Race put on by Topo Adventure Sports. Consisted of a Paddle, Hike, and bike throughout the beautiful East Fork State park in Ohio. Beautiful area and our first time in this park and our first race with Topo Adventure Sports. Made a few Nav mistakes that cost us a bit and also had some bike issues but overall a great training/racing experience. We got 10th out of 26th overall and had a blast. Ended up covering just under 40 miles. Thanks to Topo for a great race!!

Little late on the post but Chris and Ben competed in The Green Corn Moon race put on by Lost Arrow Sports on 8/03. It was a 6hr Rogaine race from 6pm to midnight. We raced as non-competitive so we could race with Amanda and just work on our Navs. Goal was to clear the course and we were oh.... so..... close!!!!! Got within about 10ft of the last CP but we did not see it. Had to run to the finish to be at the clock and got back with just under a minute to spare! Maybe next year!

2 of the Purveyors of Stoke AR members and recent addition Kelly Davis competed as solo's in the Mohican Triathalon this past Saturday. Race consisted of a 6 mile paddle, 5.6 mile MTBike ride, and finished with a 6.6 mile run. Beautiful course that took us down the Mohican River, the beginners loop on the MTBike trail, and a run over the suspension bridge up to the Gorge overlook and back to the finish. Thanks OMBC for putting on a great race! This was the first year of the race and was not promoted much, next year should be a bit bigger. Chris ended up finishing 2nd overall and Kelly Davis got 2nd in the Womens division. Great job to both of them for the great finish. Welcome to the Purveyors of Stoke AR team Kelly Davis, we are stoked to have you!!!! Kelly and Ben Daniel will be competing in the 24hr Almost Heaven Adventure race next month in Davis West Virginia put on by Adventure Enablers.
