2019 NOMAD 48 Hour Adventure Race
This will be the fourth year of the NOMAD, a 48 hour adventure race, which challenges teams on mountain bike, on foot, and on the water in the high country of the Rocky Mountains. This year's race will be a slightly different format from past years, but promises to be another breath-taking race (both figuratively and literally) for all who attempt it.
This race is a part of the Rocky Mountain Adventure Series and a USARA Regional Qualifier.
