Today at 12.00 the toughest non-stop multisport event Red Fox Adventure Race XIV powered by Polartec® started!
342 athletes from six countries around the world (Russia, Belarus, Estonia, Denmark, Netherlands and USA) are testing their limits during this exciting competition. We are expecting a hot battle!

Best multisportsmen, orienteering athletes and cyclists from Europe and North America came to one of the most beautiful places in Russia – Onega Lake, Republic of Karelia. This year the Red Fox Polartec NA women’s team from the USA came to dare to human limits.
All participants should overcome more than 300 kilometers by bike, kayak, trekking and climbing. Points of athletes with best results can be included in the AR EuroSeries international rankings because for the fourth time since it began, the Red Fox Adventure Race XIV, the largest expedition race in Russia, is included in the AR EuroSeries calendar.
The opening ceremony was accompanied by heavy rain and hail. But the sun came soon and after the welcoming speech of the chairman of the Organizing Committee Olga Moroz, designer of the race Vitaly Chegarovsky and the representative of Polartec LLC Edyta Szczepanska the adventure started.
We wish good luck and tons of energy to everybody!
