Frontier Adventure Challenge
Deerhurst Resort
Huntsville, ON Saturday
May 5, 2007
Ahhh, this one's going to be FUN...
For many, the Muskoka Region conjures up fond childhood memories like first camping
trips, learning how to paddle a canoe, and seeing a moose for
the first time. It is a magnificent landscape that holds a very
special place in the hearts of all Eastern Canadian outdoor
enthusiasts.
Grab two friends or strangers, and join us on
Saturday, May 5 to kick off the adventure racing season, as we aim to show you some of the best
landscapes off the beaten path in the Frontier Adventure
Challenge - Huntsville.
This race weekend will have a festival atmosphere with the Sault College Adventure Challenge happening on Sunday, May 6. Hundreds of high school students from across the province will be helping with the race on Saturday, and preparing for their adventure on Sunday.
NEW CASH PRIZING: $1000 in CASH available to the top teams, including $500 for the overall winners. Plus the usual cornucopia of prizing, swag, draws and race entries from our sponsors and race partners (see prizing details below).
One random prize of a FULL TEAM ENTRY TO RAID THE NORTH - ESPRIT RAFTING! That's right, one lucky team will be drawn at random at the wrap up party to win a full team entry to the best weekend race in the best location in Ontario and Quebec. At a $1500 value, that's worth staying for the party!
Course design by Lawrence Foster, Captain of Team Holofibre, EcoChallenge veteran, 3rd place finisher at Primal Quest, and designer of the 2004 AR World Champs in Newfoundland and this year's Raid the North Extreme in Prince Rupert. Lawrence is building a fun and challenging course to remember!
Top teams in each category are also rewarded with a 50% discount on the Fall Classic and Championships in September.
Stay for the acclaimed post-race party

racecourse that shows your team a great day in the true
spirit of adventure racing!
