A different race hosts the AR World Championship each year and the series consists of Qualifier, Regional and Stage races. Qualifiers are non-stop expedition length races of 3-10 days. The top premier mixed team of 4 in a Qualfier race receives a free place in the World Championship.

Regional races in Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa and Oceania are accessible, weekend races (one day to 48 hours) and can provide a pathway towards expedition racing and competing in ARWS Qualifiers and World Championships.

Biliran Island. The perfect backdrop for a race of this calibre

The island lies off the northern coast of Leyte island across Biliran Strait. To the southeast is Carigara Bay, to the northeast is the Samar Sea, and across this sea is Samar. To the west is the Visayan Sea and Masbate lies 30 kilometres (19 mi) to the northwest. The province is composed of two major volcanic islands: the main island also named Biliran and Maripipi, a smaller island to the northwest. Other smaller islands include Higatangan and Dalutan.
