Canada's Largest Adventure Event Saturday May 9, 2009
Voted three 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.
Hosted this year at Trudeau Park Resort just
outside of the village of Tweed, the eighth annual
Storm the Trent features three brand-new racecourses
staged from a region never before explored by
racers in an adventure sports event. A maximum
of 500 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 riding on off-road and backroad routes,
and scenic flatwater paddling. No 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 85-90km
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.
Catered hot meals at the Finish Line.
On-site canoe rentals or the option to bring your own.
