Rocky Mountain Region
The ARC Rockies region contains the states:
Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.
Eight race directors in the Rocky Mountain region are working together to provide numerous adventure races in the region. They have created the Rocky Mountain Adventure Series which includes most races in the area. The series has a Facebook page as well as a website.
ARC maintains a regional ranking for all the regions.
There are also four races in the region which are not part of series. The Quarry Mt Quest is a beginner race to raise money for the Routt County Search and Rescue in Northern Colorado. The Kids Adventure Games (Utah race, Colorado race, and Montana race) are events geared towards kids ages 6-14.
