Looking for a whole different kind of race? Trade in the usual for trail running shoes and a map, left the pavement behind for whitewater and mountains. Trade up for the mud, sweat and excitement of adventure racing. More than your average race, racers will take on the trails, rappel off an arch, scramble over rocks, zip across a canyon, kayak through rapids, and experience the outdoors like never before.

“El Grito” means the shout for independence. Father Miquel Hidalgo rang the church bell in the village of Dolores at midnight on September 15th, 1810. This was the call to begin the struggle for Mexican Independence to end 300 years of Spanish rule. Today, to maintain pride in our culture, we celebrate “El Grito de Dolores.”
