IARF will continue to educate and promote these classifications across all the adventure races in India. We believe in uniformity and awareness of available races for each athlete either he/she is a beginner or a seasoned adventure racer. India is blessed with the terrain meant of adventure racing, however the awareness is what we must create together. IARF will work with various race directors to implement these formats.
