Arthur the incredible Ecuadorian Adventure Racing dog has sadly gone to doggie heaven. Arthur was a street dog and was offered a canned meat ball by Mikeal Lindnord. Arthur then attached himself to Lindnords Swedish Adventure Racing team during the World Championship in 2014 and finished the rest of the race with them. Arthur required veterinary care for wounds that he'd had for several months and had to remain in quarantine for 120 days. In March 2015, after dental surgery... and a press conference, he went to live with Lindnord and his family in Örnsköldsvik. In May 2015 Arthur accompanied the team in the Wings For Life World Run in Kalmar. Today, Lindnord announced on his Instagram account that Arthur had passed away. Arthur - You are a king amongst dogs ( and Humans ) You inspired us all !! We salute you, race on in heaven !! See more

#Repost @arworldseries with @make_repost Press Release: Record Entries Show Europe is Ready to Adventure Race Again! It’s been a challenging year for all sports and especially for international events, and as a result, there will be no World Series, Expedition Adventure Races in Europe this year, but next year is shaping up to be an incredible year for European racing.... Race organisers and teams are frustrated with the necessary lack of competition, but undaunted. Adventure racers are adaptable and determined, they deal with whatever is happening and keep moving forward, until they get where they are going. So, when Adventure Racing World Series races in Europe opened new entries for 2021 they filled rapidly and most are at capacity, with record entries. Covid permitting, there will be over 1000 adventure racers taking part in 5 European races next year, including the World Championships in Spain. Most of the teams come from within Europe, which historically has supplied a high percentage of entries in the ARWS worldwide, and which has a long and rich history of races in France, Spain, the UK and Sweden. (All of which have hosted World Championships.) The record entry is a strong endorsement of European racing, an expression of trust in the races, and a sign of the pent up demand to get out and race again, stoked by the airing of the Eco-Challenge series on Amazon Video. One of the last ARWS events to open up places was the World Championships, which will be hosted by Raid Gallaecia in Spain next October. It is 2012 since the World Champs was held in mainland Europe and it is returning after a 2 year hiatus, so it’s not surprising there is huge excitement to see the race back in Spain again next year. Even so, the speed with which places were taken up was impressive, and it looks like all 80 available places will be filled, with the addition of another 11 possible ARWS qualifiers.
