Moab Adventure Xstream Race Sold Out

Red Cliffs Adventure Lodge to host Moab Adventure Xstream Events

On Saturday, March 25^th a competitive field of more than 300 elite athletes and weekend warriors will descend upon Moab for the start of the 6^th Annual Adventure Xstream Adventure Race Series.  The Moab AXS Race is sold out again this year. 

The Moab area is an ideal place for challenging adventure races and training camps given its rugged terrain, multi-sport options, world class mountain biking and natural beauty.  Gravity Play Sports has put Moab on the adventure racing map and looks forward to continuing to put on high quality events in the area.  In addition to the Moab AdventureXstream Race on March 25^th, Gravity Play Sports also offers spring Adventure Race Training Camps and Women’s & Co-ed Adventure Retreats at Red Cliffs Lodge. 

Red Cliffs Adventure Lodge will again play host to all of the Gravity Play Sports 2006 Moab events. Nestled in the beautiful Castleton Valley, Red Cliffs Adventure Lodge serves as the ideal Camp, Retreat & Race Headquarters due to the resort’s river side and canyon location. While water accessibility makes Red Cliffs Lodge an ideal venue, the resort’s lush and expansive grounds make it a perfect place for a congregation of our athletes, volunteers and support staff. 

In addition, the lodge is the ideal Race Headquarters for the Annual Xstream Expedition Race being held October 5-8^th this year.  Early registration for the 3^rd Annual Xstream Expedition is open until July 15^th.  At only $395 per person this world class expedition adventure race is the most affordable expedition race of its caliber in the United States.  The race will take participants through more than 250 miles of paddling, trekking, mountain biking, navigating and rappelling in the Utah Canyonlands and La Sal Mountain Range. Moab, Utah is a region of duality, with both majestic desert canyonlands and harsh rugged mountainous terrain. The Xstream Expedition has challenged some of the best adventure racing teams in the country including, Silly Rabbits, Balance Bar, Salomon, and Team Crested Butte to name a few.
