Designed as a fun, first step into adventure racing, the Frontier Adventure Challenge will thrill you, inspire you, and leave your team with a thirst for more. No experience is necessary to participate and over 90% of teams feel the rush of reaching the finish line. Adventure racing rookies and veterans agree, the Frontier Adventure Challenge Series is ADDICTIVE!

Solo and teams of three (male, female and coed) participate in a 5-8 hour adventure, covering roughly 35-40 km using a variety of oxygen-fed sports – paddling, mountain biking, and trekking!

Each Frontier Adventure Challenge we stage draws on our years of experience as Canada's premiere adventure racing organization, organizing over 100 wilderness-based races since 1998. This guarantees that your team will be treated to an impeccably organized and incredibly fun challenge that offers a true taste of the spirit of adventure racing.

Advanced: We introduced the Advanced Section to races in 2004 and you seem to have loved it! Teams that complete the advanced section of the race and finish the course in time will automatically be ranked higher than teams that finish the course without the advanced section--even if they cross the finish line first! More details about the Advanced Section is available in the Competitor Newsletter once you register.

Long-Format: This 10-14 hour format was created in 2003 to give Frontier AC competitors a taste of night racing and navigation, without a full overnight. This format evolved into the Frontier AC Fall Classic and Canadian Championship every September, celebrating the crisp air, incredible colors, and bug-free days of autumn in Canada.

Wondering how to get started in adventure racing? Here's some great tips to get you going:

• Jump Right In - Just get two friends and learn by doing. Remember, no experience is necessary and over 90% of teams finish the racecourse. This is what most people do so pick a race and have a blast!

• Volunteer - See the action first hand! From Checkpoints to Basecamp, Volunteering is THE way to see what AR is like without actually competing. Frontier strives to put people in whatever role they wish.

• Get Schooled - Take one of our many Adventure Racing Training courses. Taught by some of Canada's leading adventure racers, you just can't go wrong!

• Read Up - Head to the AR Resource Centre and soak in the information. Another great data-piece is past Race Summaries (images, story, stats).
