Traditionally, YACS starts and ends in urban surroundings, gathering huge crowds to cheer contestants along and to bring some much-needed attention and volume to the sport. Nathan Fa\u2019avae (NZ) described the race as \u201ca contribution in growing adventure race\u201d after his Team Seagate finished 2<sup>nd<\/sup> in 2016.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Why race in Denmark?<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s be honest. There are no high mountains in Denmark. None.\r\n\r\nWhat we do have is hills. Lots of them. And lakes. Lots of them, too. We also have more coastline per landmass than any other country. No matter where you are, you are never more than 50 km away from the sea. So in many ways, Denmark offers a completely unique adventure racing landscape, that will never allow you to reach your comfort zone. You will constantly be faced with changes in inclination, grip and surroundings. And telling one hill from the next on the map can be quite challenging if you are not familiar with the dense forests.\r\n\r\nSo there are plenty of reasons to sign up for the 2019 edition of the race, that could earn you a European Championship title in 2020.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nYACS 2019 \/ EuroSeries will be held from Sep. 5<sup>th<\/sup>-8<sup>th<\/sup> 2019. Registration is open.\r\n\r\nYACS 2020 \/ European Championship will be held 3rd-6th of September 2020[vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=\"image_grid\" images=\"1232,4535,4384,3871,3819,3799\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1798","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nacs.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nacs.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nacs.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nacs.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nacs.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1798"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/nacs.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1798\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6266,"href":"https:\/\/nacs.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1798\/revisions\/6266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nacs.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
