WickedAR, producers of the Wicked Adventure Sprint Series in the magnificent Pacific Northwest, is proud to announce their environmental commitment programs.

WickedAR is firmly commited to the Leave No Trace ethics. As such, racers should expect to know, understand, and agree to abide by the Leave No Trace Principals. It's even entirely possible that teams will be required to know the 7 Principals as part of a special test on the race course. Details will be provided in advance to teams.

In addition to strong support for the Leave No Trace organization, WickedAR is also a strong supporter of the Sierra Club. We believe that managing our natural resources effectively and with an eye toward the future (and the generations that come after us) is an absolutely essential component to being responsible humans.

We look forward to our Wicked Adventure Sprint Series races and to insuring that we practice minimal impact techniques and maintain those values.

WickedAR owners Shane Gibson and Kathleen O'Neill are proud members of the Leave No Trace and Sierra Club organizations.
