CLINICS
One of Infiterra Sports main goals is to help promote and grow the exciting sport of adventure racing. We believe that one excellent way to do that is to offer low cost, high quality clinics that you can use to further you adventure racing skills. Many clinics are RSVP so please check the details below and contact the event coordinator if RSVP is required. Many of our clinics have a limit on the number of participants, so RSVP early. The cost associated with the clinics helps us cover instruction materials, facility, and equipment. Infiterra Sports strives to arrange the best instruction available and works to keep the cost at a minimum. We provide all clinics at break even or minimal profit to the company because we want you to be a better racer!
