The FIG - 361° Adventures
The FIG is an adventure race held in the Red River Gorge area near Slade, Kentucky, returning for its 24th running on November 7, 2026. The event offers two timed race lengths and is open to solo competitors and teams. The 24 hour race serves as a USARA regional qualifier for the 2027 national championship.
Discipline highlights include navigation, mountain biking, trekking, and ropes work. A race-integrated via ferrata section takes racers onto exposed sandstone with fixed cables, iron rungs, and ladders; mandatory via ferrata gear is provided for that section. The 24 hour course also includes packrafting on moving water with Class I–II conditions; packraft rentals are available from partner providers. Maps provided are waterproof and include lidar-generated contours and vegetation layers.
Logistics and entries note that the start and finish use Land of Arches Campground in the Red River Gorge area. Entry fees are listed as $185 for the 12 hour option and $315 for the 24 hour option. Registration closes November 1 and the shirt order deadline is October 20. The event includes a pre-race gathering, post-race meal service, and awards including guaranteed national championship entry and a prize credit for the winning mixed gender 3/4-person team in the 24 hour division.
