(AAR) Appalachian Adventure Racing is a club dedicated to the growth of Adventure Racing in the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson-Columbia South Carolina area. Adventure Racing is the culmination of many disciplines: running/ trekking, paddling, mtn. biking, orienteering and climbing while testing physical endurance, mental toughness and team dynamics. ---- "Too many people short change their lives by avoiding new experiences, afraid of the possible embarrassment of failure. But we can't continue to learn, mature without trying new things. To participate is to live; spectators only exist!"
