Yacolt Burn State Forest • NE Dole Valley Rd Yacolt, WA 98675 Organized by North American Educational Adventure RacingAbout this event
Northwest MedWAR
MedWAR is short for Medical Wilderness Adventure Race. It is a unique event that combines wilderness medical challenges with the growing sport of adventure racing. The race was also developed as a tool for teaching and testing the knowledge, skills, and techniques of wilderness medicine, and for promoting teamwork and collegiality among competitors. MedWAR is sanctioned by North American Educational Adventure Racing (NAEAR).
Pacific Northwest Wilderness Medicine (PNWM) has partnered with North American Educational Adventure Racing (NAEAR) to bring the Medical Wilderness Adventure Race back to Washington State for the 4th year in a row. The inaugural MedWAR was developed and hosted by emergency physicians and medical students from the Medical College in Georgia in the fall of 2000. Since then, MedWAR Challenge has grown to include races all over the country every year. PNWM is excited to host our 4th MedWAR, this time set in the beautiful Southwest Washington this fall.
Registration is opening August 20th. There are limited spots available, so be sure to act fast. We can't wait to see you in-person on race day.
Race Format: Teams of four run and navigate through trails and beautiful forest scenery to find challenging medical simulations and answer questions along the way.
Volunteers: Please also register so we can keep track of you!
