The aim of the AREuroSeries (ARES) is to spread the sport of Adventure Racing (long and short distance, relays) (AR), to promote its development and to create and maintain an attractive European event program.
Main objectives:
- 1. To manage and develop long distance adventure racing in Europe, including AR European Championship and AR European Cup;
- 2. To manage and develop other „outdoor extreme adventure sports activities“ such as individual and shorter distance adventure races and extreme relays.
- 3. Race-rules and regulations unification and publication, national institution directory and organizer list publication, race schedule publication.
Our vision is that European Adventure Racing and Outdoor eXtreme Sports activity are recognized as a truly outdoor sport, attractive to all, having presence and credibility on the European sporting stage; included in world Adventure Racing and Outdoor eXtreme Sports organization.

Present & future
For the 2008 season, AREuroSeries will concentrate on organizing a cup of long distance adventure races. This includes AR European Championships. For the future we want to include other types of races to the AREuroSeries. This includes individual and short distance adventure races and extreme relays. These can enter individually or as a whole cups.
We also envision creation of some sort of European Adventure Racing Association.
