Founded in 1984 by Chris Kostman, AdventureCORPS® made its name producing the world’s toughest endurance races in dramatic, remote locations that few people would ever visit, let alone run or bike across. Held under the Badwater® banner, these events have allowed runners and bicyclists to explore Death Valley, the Salton Sea, Cape Fear, the Mojave Desert, and the Nevada outback in the USA, as well as the Mustang region of Nepal, Yunan Province of China, and now Armenia and Artsakh.

AdventureCORPS’ domestic travel offerings include a six-day “runcation” running camp based in Solvang, CA wine country and a six-day paddling excursion over 100 miles of the Upper Missouri River Breaks in Montana.

AdventureCORPS’ overseas travel offerings – led by an archaeologist and former professional cyclist – are now exclusively hosted in Armenia and Artsakh, the Christian, democratic nation located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The focus is on Armenia and Artsakh’s ancient monasteries, Christian sites, and castles, as well as the dramatic landscape, incredible trail networks, wine, fantastic food, and ancient Armenian culture. Tours can include daily trail running, hiking, or mountain biking, while enjoying everything Armenia and Artsakh have to offer. For more about Artsakh, visit Artsakh.Travel, and for the very best tours and adventure trips there, contact Chris Kostman at AdventureCORPS!
