Checkpoint Zero, LLC today announced the 2008 Checkpoint Tracker
Adventure Racing Series presented by Inov-8. This innovative adventure
racing series features 18 one-day and 3 multi-day events produced by
the sport's most accomplished and experienced race promoters. The
Series features online coverage of all events at CheckpointTracker.com
and a combined prize purse worth more than $30,000 in cash and gear.

"I'm thrilled to have Too Cool Racing, Kayak Lake Mead, GOALS
Adventure Racing, Wicked AR, and High Profile Adventure Racing coming
on board in 2008. We're adding 11 events next year, 8 of them by these
new promoters. The other new races are coming from the foundational
promoters that were involved this year," commented Paul "Yak" Angell,
President of Checkpoint Zero, LLC. "Our new lineup means less
traveling to compete in Series events and earn points. Expansion has
been our top priority since day one, and I'm very pleased by the
growth we're seeing in just our second year."

In addition to a combined $10,000 cash purse to be awarded to the top
three teams at the end of the year, the top three teams at each Series
event will be awarded gear prizes including packs and shoes from
Inov-8, sunglasses from Numa Tactical, and hydration tablets from
nuun. "Our sponsors are really stepping up to the plate to make this
series about more than points on a website," Paul continued. "If your
team does well at any Series event, no matter your overall points
total, you're going to get prizes."
