After the Adventure Racing World Series race, held in Spain in 2010 the Bimbache Extrem remained dormant,but IT IS BACK! and with renewed energy
After 8 editions running through the Canary Islands, Andalusia and Castilla y León, in 2013 it will be held in Catalonia. .

Since this is a privileged region for all types of sports, having the sea and mountains nearby, you can imagine how varied the course will be and how much you will enjoy all the wildlife and nature of the province. The event will take place from September 8th to September 14th.

The disciplines to be held will be trekking, mountain biking, canoeing, climbing, roller skating and an activity with ropes, as well as an easy new activity in aquatic snorkeling orientation. Some other activity may be added to the list and we will soon inform about it.
Due to the dates in which the event will take place, it will make a great training and preparation for the World Championships in Costa Rica, to be held from December 2nd to the 11th.
It will take 60 hours for the lead teams to get to the finish line, and the time limit for all teams will be of 5 days, twice the time of the leaders. There will be a mandatory stop halfway on the course of about 4 hours.

Registration will open on January 21st at a cost of 2.000 euros which will include assistance during the competition, race logistics, transfer to and from the airport (either BCN’s or Girona’s airport) and as a gift to the first 15 entries, they will have the accommodation bungalows or apartments for the team for free two days before the competition start as well as the final day. All those entries made later, in case the accommodation is to be provided, the price will be 2,300 euros.
The entries made later than June 15th will be charged 20%. Also new for this year, on Saturday September 14th, a small raid for all categories will take place. Not being mixed or scoring for the AWRS but helping make the Bimbache Extrem a party of the Raids.
There will be a total prize of 20,000 Euros, 10,000 in cash to the top 3 finishers and another 10,000 in products from sponsors.
