Four Winds Club Connection
The Chicago Area Adventure Racing Association is the official Club Connection for the Four Winds Club Team Lottery Program.
What is the Four Winds Lottery Program?
The Four Winds Club Lottery Program was developed to support adventure racing clubs within and outside the US by providing special VIP club entries into designated Four Winds adventure races. This program is in effect for all Four Winds races in 2003 and was developed to support Adventure Racing club growth worldwide by improving inter-club communications and associations with each other.
How
many club spots are available for each race?
Four Winds has made available 5 lottery spots for each race. The drawing will be held between 45 and 60 days prior to each race. If additional spots become available, Four Winds will pick from the remaining list for each race.
How does my club qualify?
 | Clubs must submit statistics on the size and growth of their club. |

duties. |
