The Return of Traditional 24hr Adventure Racing in Ontario
After lamenting the loss of classic, wilderness-based, 24hr adventure races from the Ontario multisport calendar I've decided to re-introduce this exciting format of racing. The inaugural Wilderness Traverse will be a 'back-to-basics' adventure race where coed and open teams of 3 or 4 will mountain bike, paddle, and trek across a remote region of the Haliburton Highlands. Route choices throughout all disciplines will be abundant, making navigation strategy a key element of a team's ability to go the distance. The racecourse itself is roughly 130 km in distance and teams will have up to 30 hours to complete it. The event is designed to attract all-levels of adventure enthusiasts who want to push their physical and mental limits in an awe-inspiring backcountry setting. Physical fitness will be an asset but mental fortitude and a team-first attitude will be a deciding factor in who achieves their goals.
The event website can be found at the following link: www.wildernesstraverse.com
