On the tracking page, you can click the little clock icon and replay the race to compare how your route looked to other teams. A cool feature, thanks to @adventure_enablers #wildernesstraverse #adventureracing #arwsnorthamerica

Pics or it didn't happen, right? It did happen. Our amazing team of photographers and volunteers were out there capturing your amazing accomplishments. Still some to sort, but the bulk of our photos are up on GeoSnapShot, which you can find via the Live Coverage page on our website, wildernesstraverse.com. We went with this platform because it has great search capabilities - search via an uploaded selfie or bib number and download. Just remember to tag us when you share!

Bob the Beaver is the well-travelled and much coveted Wilderness Traverse Coed Champions trophy. We found him soon after his arrival Friday with team Mercators AR and learned they wanted to return home with him. After a great race, mission accomplished and Bob’s journey continues. Congratulations to the team and Bob, see you in a year! #wildernesstraverse #adventureracing #arwsnorthamerica

Monday morning and we look back at an amazing weekend. Thanks to racers for being a part of it and everyone who helped make it happen. #wildernesstraverse #adventureracing #arwsnorthamerica

Thanks to all the racers, volunteers and followers who helped make 2026 Wilderness Traverse a success. For all the navigators and nerds, we’ve checked all the SI Cards, verified the data and and posted a link to the splits on our live coverage page on wildernesstraverse.com!

What’s better than crossing the Wilderness Traverse line feeling you’ve had a good race? Finding out you’ve finished on the podium in third place. Congratulations Spare Parts!
