Ten-Hour Adventure Relay Saturday September 19, 2009
Ontario’s newest
and most exciting multi-sport race format is back,
and it'll be even bigger and better in 2009! Take
the fun and laid-back atmosphere of your favourite
8-hour or 24-hour mountain bike event, mix it
up with the exciting multi-discipline format of
an adventure race, add one of Ontario's top mountain
biking destinations, and the result is Salomon
Storm the Ten; Canada's first and only adventure
race relay.
The premise is simple. A 10-hour event; a 10km
course, made up of short-distance paddling, mountain
biking and trail running sections, with each lap
combining all the thrills of an adventure race
into roughly one-hour loops. Solo racers attack
their laps individually while teams of 2, 3, 4
or 6 race in pairs; each attempting the course
as many times as possible over a ten-hour period.
Storm the Ten is hosted exclusively at
Kelso Conservation Area in Milton; the GTA's local
haven for all things outdoors. Home to a 50-acre
lake, a 5-lift ski hill, and a fantastic network
of trails lining the Niagara Escarpment, this
gem of a site compacts the best elements of a
classic adventure race into a 980-acre park. Racers
can expect a course layout that is nothing short
of challenging, thrilling, fast and fun!
