The opening line of text on the About page on the Checkpoint Tracker website says:

Checkpoint Tracker represents the evolution of competitive Adventure Racing in the United States. It is a fresh start…a break from the status quo…a new vision for the future of the sport.

Checkpoint Tracker was re-launched on October 17th, 2009 with 41 Events on the calendar. Since then we’ve added 31 Events and have more in the pipeline. We will probably end up at 80 or more races when the dust settles.

Nearly 500 adventure racers have created profiles for more than 150 teams.

I’ve lost track of the number of emails and phone calls I’ve gotten in which racers have expressed excitement about the 2010 racing season and have said flat out that they are basing their entire schedule on Checkpoint Tracker events.

We’re busy putting the finishing touches on site enhancements like online registration, event coverage and rankings. Each of these are critical components of our larger vision. Once we get these new features deployed and smoothed out we’ll be moving to more fun stuff like improving Racer and Team profiles.

Remember that in order to earn Checkpoint Tracker points and be ranked, your Team MUST be registered on the site. That means every member has Signed Up, created a profile, been added to the Team and that you’ve completed your Team Schedule by adding the Events you plan to attend.
