3-5 Hour Course

Don't settle for
overpriced imitators – Salomon Storm
the Trent is the original “my first”
adventure event! We've been creating introductory-level
multi-sport adventures since 2002, and we know
what it takes to make the formula work. 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 attainable
and enjoyable multi-sport racing 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.
Racers will be faced with scenic flatwater paddling
sections; non-technical mountain biking on backroad
routes; and beautiful forest runs through well-maintained
trail networks. Finish times for all teams will
range anywhere between three to five hours.
This year’s race features an all-new host
region, a fantastic new resort venue with on-site
accommodation options, as well as a return to
our traditional “straight-time” (ie.
not points-based) race format. Racers will travel
point-to-point through a sequential series of
checkpoints, on a singular and clearly-defined
racecourse that features both marked and semi-marked
sections. Complete details are provided in the
racer information package below.
