Calling all adventurers!

The 2026 Alamance Adventure Race is happening Saturday, September 26th! Get ready for 12 hours of fun and epic challenges! The Alamance Adventure Race is a county-wide scavenger hunt for all ages. Starting at 7:30am, teams will gather at Bill Cooke Park in Graham and at 8 AM will launch out to all corners of the county to find challenges and collect as many points as possible. Teams will utilize the Eventzee app on their smartphones to make it all happen (just one team member needs to have the app installed). With more challenges than any one team can finish, you will have to capture moments, find items, and complete wild activities to get as many points as you can! Teams will visit parks, businesses, open areas, and more! If it's in Alamance County, you're probably going there! Challenges are scaled in points based on the challenge, difficulty, or location.

NEW THIS YEAR! - We are adding a Grand Finale to our traditional event. This year all teams will be invited back to Bill Cooke Park for additional challenges (lots of points!), food and awards presentation. We hope this ends up being the cherry on top of an already great event. So feel free to hang out, eat, and share your adventure stories. Graham Recreation and Parks also has a Movie in the Park planned that evening so stick around for Lilo and Stitch.
Make no mistake, to win is hard work, having an absolute blast all day with your family and friends is easy. Prizes will be given to the top 3 finishing teams with the most points!
