2010: It's our 13th Anniversary! Join us in celebrating our history as Canada's oldest provider of memorable adventure racing experiences. And let's have some fun, too!
Our Deerhurst event gets more popular every year, and we're gunning for (what else?) 113 teams this year. We've taken the popular getaway destination of Muskoka and mixed in fun, challenge, friends, and of course, mud. Seems to be a winning formula. Will you be at the start line this year?
Grab two friends or strangers, or go solo, and join us on Saturday, May 1 to kick off your summer adventure racing season, as we take you off the beaten path in the Frontier Adventure Challenge - Deerhurst Resort.
ONE WEEKEND - TWO RACES: This race weekend has a festive atmosphere with something for everyone!
The High School Adventure Challenge happens on Sunday, May 2. Hundreds of high school students from across the province will be on hand for the Saturday race, taking sport clinics, preparing for their adventure on Sunday, and looking to you for inspiration.
Teachers & Family of students racing on Sunday - Saturday's race will feature several course options allowing you to create a shorter, fun version of the full race, and get a real taste for this addictive sport without overdoing it!
MAKE IT A WEEKEND: Why rush home? Stay for the post-race awards and party. Get a great deal on a condo at Deerhurst. Book a spa treatment. Volunteer for the High School race on Sunday. And by all means, help us make their finish line rowdy!
TOP-NOTCH COURSE DESIGN: Every year, we discover more wilderness in the area, and come up with new things to do with it. A fresh, new racecourse with some fun, new twists will keep things exciting!
WIN RACE DISCOUNTS: Top teams in each category, and the top solo racer, are each rewarded with a 50% discount on the Fall Classic and Championships in September.
...and as always, a super-fun race experience in the true spirit of adventure racing!
A great new version of our popular contest for women. Axis Gear joins us in awarding two women a free race with AR superstar Trish Westman (Team Salomon Bobkittens), who will take the winners through pre-race prep and training, then share her wisdom and experience through the race. The winners will also receive a set of "Axis Gear Adventure Girls" branded performance clothing to ensure they perform at their best!
Congratulations to Jo-Dee Regier and Brigitte Bruneau, who will be joining AR legend Trish Westman as Team Axis Gear Adventure Girls at Deerhurst. Trish will share her wisdom and experience with Jo-Dee and Brigitte, who both seem to have the energy necessary to keep up with Trish.
And watch for the Axis Gear Adventure Girls contest to return soon for the Frontier Adventure Challenge Fall Classic, Sept 25 at Red Leaves Resort.
