Jason's Adventure Bash AR - The JAB!

Jason's Adventure Bash AR - The JAB! Columbia, SC— June 13, 2026 Memorial Fundraiser for Jason Schmidt This event is a memorial fundraiser for Adventure Racer and dear friend Jason Schmidt. Created in conjunction with his family, 50% of the proceeds from the event will go to a college fund for his three children, Harry, Sam, and Eleanor. Jason had a dream of bringing an Adventure Race back to his home city of Columbia, SC, for the Summer of 2026. Prior to his tragic passing at the Sea to Sea AR in February 2026, Jason had worked closely with GRIT Adventure Racing to create this dream AR in Columbia, SC. After his passing, his wife Liz wanted to continue his dream. GRIT, close friends, and the local community have rallied in support, keeping his original course design in place and just making a slight name change in his honor.
