Castlewood 8-Hour Adventure Race: COVID-19 UPDATE: We are carefully monitoring the current situation in the St. Louis region, and working with our permitting agencies to determine the safest way to hold this event. If necessary, we may cancel, with full refunds to registered racers. We are also exploring the option of a virtual “race” where your Race Directors would still hang all of the checkpoints, but your maps would be emailed and you would complete the course at a time of your choosing within a two-week window. Thank you for your patience as we navigate the ever-changing conditions (a very important adventure racing skill!).
