‘Ohana Sports is planning to send a team to race in an Adventure Race in 2025. Here is more information about our team!
The Dream…
We’ve been doing Spartan Races for a while now and when looking for race options came upon ADVENTURE races! It was like a dream description - mixed teams (each team needs a woman), high miles, multiple sport disciplines (trek, kayak, bike, mountaineering) over multiple days, compass navigation receiving a map hours before the race starts! We are committed, but still choosing which race in the world we want to do! Here are the racers!
