The 2011 Lewis and Clark Ozark Adventure Race
is a Regional Qualifier for the 2012 National Championships.
The top 3 coed teams (Elite or Masters) will qualify for the 2012 USARA Adventure Racing National Championships. The first place coed team will receive $400 towards their entry fee into the National Championships, paid for by All Sports Productions, Inc. If the first place coed team has already received $400 towards their entry fee into the National Championships, the $400 will roll down to the second place team, and so on, until it reaches a team that has not received the money towards their registration fees. If one of the top three coed teams have already qualified for the National Championships race, the qualification will roll down to the 4th place team, and so on, until it reaches three teams that have not yet qualified for the race. This race is an officially sanctioned event by the United States Adventure Racing Association.  .
