race details

Q. We are a little concerned about the mtb section of the Championship course. Just how difficult is it?

A. Overall, the mtb section is moderately difficult, mostly due to it's length, and abundance of hills. It's 56% gravel road/paved road, 32% double track and 12% single track. This year's mountain bike route is 100% rideable, depending on your bike handling skills.

Q. Can I earn points towards the Ontario Adventure Racing Points Series (OARPS) as a soloist?

A. No. At Logs Rocks and Steel, only Teams of 2 will earn points for OARPS.

Q. Is there a minimum age for participants?

A. Kids 14 years of age or less need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Q. Can I use a "hybrid" bike for the mountain biking portion of the event?

A. We highly recommend using a proper mountain bike. However, you might be able to get away with using a hybrid bike if it has front suspension & your bike handling skills are excellent.

Q. Can kids stay free at Camp Pine Crest?

A. Kids 3 and under can stay for free. Please email us if you'll have young children staying with you at camp.

Q. Is it possible to visit the site before the race, or is it private?

A. Unfortunately, we can't have people visiting the host-site before the race. It's a kids camp and will be in session throughout the summer. However, participants can ride the mountain bike portion of the courses and do some of the trail running. If you're planning to pre-ride come prepared with proper equipment for remote back-country riding/running. The best place to park would be the lot for the Torrance Barrens Trails on Southwood Road.

Q. Is it possible to use a trailer tent on the campsite for this event?

A. Yes, trailers are permitted, however there are no electrical hook-ups.

Q. Can I use a Stand-Up-Paddle Board (SUP) for the kayak portion of the event?

A. Yes, SUP's are permitted. We'll add a seperate category for SUP's if 10, or more people register planning to use a SUP. Email us if you plan to use a SUP.
