How Much Does It Cost to Compete in RAAM?
Besides the entry fee, every racer and team has to provide their own support crew and support vehicles. Depending on the number of crew, the number of vehicles, and how deluxe your race is, the costs starts at $20,000. With a Team of racers this costs gets split multiple ways. By contrast, typically it costs over $50,000 to climb Mt. Everest and a year of college can cost over $30,000. For some, this is certainly a lot of expense – and you will never regret spending any of it. The rewards of this race far outweigh any dollar value. As they say in the Visa commercials – Finishing RAAM – Priceless.
