Event overview
The Summer Sizzle Adventure Race - Saturday takes place on June 13, 2026 in Spotsylvania Courthouse, VA at 6800 Lawyers Rd, near Lake Anna State Park. The weekend features two separate 5-hour races, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, and a weekend bundle is offered that covers both days. Events include solo and team divisions plus "no-biking" variants. Races are USARA-sanctioned and also score points for the Virginia State Parks Adventure Series.
Format and entries
The event follows an adventure racing format that combines orienteering with multiple travel modes: on-foot, biking and paddling. Competitors receive topographic race maps and must navigate to marked checkpoints; scoring is by number of checkpoints acquired, with fastest time as a tie-breaker. Divisions include soloist, 2/3/4-person teams and a family division. Age eligibility varies by event, with participants accepted across a wide age range depending on the chosen race.
Registration details note a standard race fee structure, a weekend bundle price, and a deadline after which fees increase. Registration includes use of a kayak or canoe with paddle and lifejacket (PFD), a race shirt (guaranteed if registered before April 1), race photographs, a post-race meal, and custom awards for top finishers in each division. Parking, permits and insurance are covered by the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
