Voted for four years running by readers of Get
Out There Magazine as Ontario's “favourite
adventure race”, Salomon Storm the Trent
is Canada's largest and most inclusive gathering
of multi-sport adventurers. Three separate races
are staged to provide racers with the ultimate
in choice; including the beginner-friendly “Hike”
short-course, the intermediate-level “Trek”
long-course, as well as the “Trek
Elite” advanced course.
2011 marks the 10th anniversary
year of Storm'ing the Trent, and it seemed only
fitting that we celebrate the occasion at our
favourite host venue! Returning to Golden
Beach Resort on the south shore of beautiful
Rice Lake, this year's event will feature all-new
racecourse designs staged from a spectacular resort
setting in the Kawarthas. Up to 700 participants
will be treated to this scenic region and its
uniquely diverse topography, competing in their
choice of three entirely separate events featuring
three levels of difficulty:
“Hike” 3-5 Hour Short Course
The original beginner-level adventure
event! The Hike course features low-impact
hiking/running on groomed trails, easy-to-moderate
level mountain biking on off-road and backroad
routes, and scenic flatwater paddling. No
advanced navigational skills are required…
A challenging but fun level of racing requiring only basic navigational skills. The Trek course features running, riding and paddling sections that put racers to the test without putting them over the edge. Perfect for both seasoned racers and eager first-timers…
The Trek Elite provides racers with a challenging
course design combined with elements of
strategy and route-finding. This race will
consist of numerous stages over an 65-70km
racecourse; featuring marked routes interspersed
with navigation sections…
Salomon Storm the Trent races feature unique
course layouts designed and managed in-house by our
own race management team, and supported by an army of
friendly volunteers and race staff. Each event also
includes:
Tons and tons of sponsor-donated prizing
Gender and age category awards for teams of 2 or
4 and solo racers
Electronic timing
Catered hot meals at the Finish Line
On-site canoe rentals or the option to bring your
own
Registration incentives and feature swag for each
race
