The Raid World Championship Kicks Off Tomorrow!

Tomorrow marks the beginning of yet another epic adventure race, this time set in the wilds near Quebec, Canada. It's The Raid World Championship, which will pit 26 of the best teams in the world against one another on a 1000km course. Pre-race activites are underway however, as the teams have gathered for the mandatory gear check-in. American teams to keep an eye out for include Team Spyder, Salomon Crested Butte, and of course Team Nike. It's hard to pick against Nike, who have dominated the sport once more this season, but there are some talented teams in the field that could give them a run, such as GoLite, Saab Salomon, and Les Arcs-Quechua. I'll be keeping an eye on this one throughout the weekend, and posting as news comes in. Don't expect the winners to cross the finish line for more than a week however.
