THE RACE
We're already working on the fourth edition of Raid Tierra de Cameros. An adventure race that will amaze with its routes and spectacular landscapes.
La Rioja is much more than wine and boasts surprising places for adventure. We're working on a unique, challenging, dynamic, and fun route, with a wide variety of activities and landscapes.
This year, we're introducing new features regarding categories and scoring.
RTC is part of the European Adventure Racing Series, and all teams participating in RTC2026 will count toward the European ranking.

TECHNICAL
INFO
CATEGORIES
ARWS EUROPE: Mixed teams made up of four athletes, that is, there must be at least one boy and one girl in each team.
It will not be necessary to have your own assistance, since the organization will be in charge of transporting the material of the transition teams in transition.
Participating teams will have the possibility of completing the complete RTC2026 route and will be eligible for official ARWS EUROPE prizes.
All teams will count toward the ARWS ranking (as they are mixed teams of four). They will also count toward ARWS EUROPE, in a single ranking, along with the teams in the EXPEDITION and ADVENTURE categories.
*The ARWS EUROPE and EXPEDITION teams that finish the race will always score points ahead of the ADVENTURE teams.
EXPEDICIÓN: Subcategories: Male - Mixed - Female
Teams made up of 2 or 3 athletes, without relays.
It will not be necessary to have your own assistance, since the organization will be in charge of transporting the material of the transition teams in transition.
Participating teams will have the possibility of completing the complete RTC2026 route and will be eligible for official EXPEDITION prizes, with prizes for the top 3 teams in each subcategory.
A efectos de resultados en RTC2026, habrá tres clasificaciones diferenciadas (Mixta - Masculina - Femenina), sin distinguir entre equipos de 2 y de 3 atletas.
A efectos de ranking ARWS, los equipos puntuarán solo para el ranking de la ARWS EUROPE, en un ranking único, junto con los equipos de las categorías ARWS EUROPE y AVENTURA.
*The ARWS EUROPE and EXPEDITION teams that finish the race will always score points ahead of the ADVENTURE teams.
AVENTURA: Subcategories: Male - Mixed - Female
Teams made up of 2 or 3 athletes, no relays.

For results purposes in RTC2026, there will be three different classifications in this category (Mixed - Men's - Women's), with no distinction between teams of 2 and 3 athletes.
For ARWS ranking purposes, all teams in this category will count toward the ARWS EUROPE ranking, in a single ranking along with the teams in the ARWS EUROPE and EXPEDITION categories, but will always be behind the teams in these categories that finish the race, as the course will be significantly shorter.
