“Hike”
3-5 Hour Course
Sunday May 16, 2010 |
 |
The original “my
first” adventure event! Storm Racing has
been offering introductory-level adventure races
since 2002, and we know what it takes to make
the formula work. Take a highly-organized race
staff team, a friendly and supportive crew of
volunteers, and the unparalleled sense of racer
camaraderie generated at each event, and you have
what is easily the most achievable and enjoyable
multi-sport challenge in Ontario!
Our short-course event is specifically designed
to create a fun day of off-road racing suitable
for a wide range of fitness and ability levels.
Racers will be faced with scenic flatwater paddling
sections; non-technical mountain biking on backroad
routes; and beautiful forest runs through well-maintained
trail networks. Finish times for all teams will
range anywhere between three to five hours.
This year's race features the return of one of
our favourite host regions; a fantastic resort
venue with on-site accommodation options; as well
as tons of great prizing for top finishers! Solo
racers and teams of 2 or 4 will travel point-to-point
through a series of "checkpoint" stations, across
a clearly-defined racecourse that features both
marked and semi-marked sections. Complete details
are provided in the racer information package
below.
