Adventure 1 (A1) is a series of premier adventure races from around the globe culminating in the A1 World Cup Final and Expedition Racing World Championships. A1 races include events across the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania. Races are typically anywhere from 24 hours long to multiday expedition length events.
