​​​​​​Keep Moving Forward...
The original “my first” AR event! Take a highly-organized race staff team, a friendly and supportive crew of volunteers, and the unparalleled sense of racer camaraderie generated at each event, and you have what is easily the most achievable and enjoyable multi-sport adventure challenge in Ontario!

Our short-course event is specifically designed to create a fun day of off-road racing suitable for a wide range of fitness and ability levels.  Teams of two or four will make their way by boat, on foot and by bike across a clearly-defined racecourse made up of both marked and unmarked sections.  Finish times typically range anywhere between three to five hours.

Racers will be treated to some incredibly scenic flatwater paddling; non-technical mountain biking on trail and backroad routes; and beautiful trail running through thoroughly-mapped trail networks. Complete details are provided in the racer information package below.
