Get Ready Gaston County: South Fork Sampler Adventure Race Returns in April

The South Fork Sampler Adventure Race, organized by Human Powered Movement, will take place for the third year on April 27 and 28, 2024. Participants, either in teams or individually, will run, bike, and paddle to collect checkpoints in the shortest time. These checkpoints are spread across the greenways, trails, rivers, and parks of Gaston County.

The 2024 race will have three categories to suit different skill levels. The Short Course (4Hr) and Long Course (8Hr) will be on Saturday, April 27, and the new Family Edition (3Hr) on Sunday, April 28. The goal is to encourage participants to discover the region's natural resources.

All race categories will begin and end at Confluence in Cramerton, which will also host a post-race party. The party will include a raffle with prizes from event sponsors.

The South Fork Sampler Adventure Race is also a fundraiser for the Catawba Riverkeeper, an organization committed to preserving the Catawba River and its tributaries, key natural resources in the region.

For more information about the event or adventure racing, Human Powered Movement offers an 'Intro to Adventure Racing Clinic'. Details about the event and the clinic are available on the organization's website.
