Episode 127 - When PR Meets AR: A Unique Crossover Between College Coursework and Adventure Racing
Description
This episode of The Dark Zone explores a creative partnership between a college classroom and the course. Students from Washington and Lee University’s Leading Public Relations Campaigns class teamed up with Adventure Addicts Racing to support the Adrenaline Rush Adventure Race. As part of their coursework, students developed and implemented real-world media strategies to promote the event, offering a fresh perspective on how adventure racing is experienced, marketed, and understood.
Throughout the project, the students gained knowledge of communication, storytelling, and the unique culture of AR. But they didn’t stop there, students also came away with practical recommendations for race directors looking to grow the sport and better engage new audiences. It’s a compelling conversation about where adventure racing is today and where it could go tomorrow.
