The 2008 Lewis and Clark Urban Adventure Race
is a Regional Qualifier and first qualifier for the 2009 National

The top 3 co-ed teams (Open or Masters) will qualify for the 2009 USARA Adventure Racing National Championships. The first place co-ed team will receive $400 towards their entry fee into the National Championships, paid for by All Sports Productions, Inc. If the first place co-ed 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 co-ed 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.
