About Cerberus 3-Day Expedition Stage Race
In Greek mythology, Cerberus is a THREE-headed dog who guards the gates of Hades.
In adventure racing, Cerberus is the THREE-day stage race that we think will be pretty dog-gone fun!
The second Cerberus Expedition Stage Race will take place from May 7-11, 2026 at Wilderness Adventure (11176 Peaceful Valley Rd, New Castle, VA 24127). The unique setup of this event allows racers to experience the thrill of multi-day racing without all of the sleep deprivation and dependency on a diet of solely sports nutrition. Each day will feature a unique course which allows teams up to 12 hours to complete and features a specific race discipline (paddling, cycling, trekking), though you will do several disciplines each day. There will be plenty of navigational challenges as well. The course will be designed to challenge both beginners and more advanced racers.
For 2026, we are requiring PACK RAFTS rather than canoes, so variable May water levels won't be as much of a factor. Consequentially, we are allowing solos to race this year as well.
Race registration fees are PER PERSON.
Racers will enjoy a prepared breakfast each day before the race. After each day's race is complete, teams will be able to clean up, enjoy a communal dinner, and then retire to their lodging to recover for the next day. Winners for each day's race will be recognized and the champions (Tamer of Cerberus) will be crowned on Sunday based upon the highest cumulative points collected in the lowest cumulative time.
We loved how last year's race turned out and look forward to seeing many of you again!
We've taken your feedback to heart and as a result, we have arranged an improvement in the lodging available and the food being provided. We think you'll approve of these changes!
