Barebones Evening Adventure Sprint Tournament, a series of very short adventure races held on weeknights in the greater Seattle area. The events involve mountain biking, running, and map reading, and they're barebones, meaning the emphasis is on providing a quality course.

BEAST races are Meridian Geographics events, produced by the MerGeo.com adventure racing team, and the proceeds pay the team's entry fees in regional and national races.

BEAST will again feature novice-friendly courses with a pro course option for those looking for an additional challenge.  BEAST also offers LOTTO registration, the option to throw your name in the hat and we'll put you on a team.  It's a great option for those new to the sport to be teamed with and learn from experienced navigators.
