NORTH AMERICAN SPRINT SERIES

Vancouver Sprint Camp 2017 will be the first event of the inaugural North American Sprint Series! The series contains four sprint events located in Canada and the United States. Participants who attend Vancouver Sprint Camp, the Boston Sprint Camp, the Seattle Adventure Running Tournament (SART), and the Sprint San Francisco events will be eligible to earn points that determine how they place in the North American Sprint Series. The more events you go to the greater chance you have of taking home the title of North American Sprint Champion!!
