The Storm the Trent 'Trek' course is designed to bridge the gap between our beginner and advanced-level race formats. The middle ground of our event formula, these races are created to be challenging, but achievable. While generally less intensive than the Trek Elite course, they still make for a very solid day of multi-sport adventuring. As a result, Trek events tend to draw a diverse mix of racer types, ranging from weekend warriors to seasoned athletes, and anyone in between! 'The 'Trek' race is uniquely formatted to offer just the right balance of adventure racing elements without the requirement of advanced-level navigation skills. Solo racers and 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 four to seven hours. 2018 will be a monumental year for Storm the Trent, as we open the doors to the vast and wild terrain of the Haliburton Highlands. This is Shield Country at its finest, and the rugged landscape, rolling hills and abundance of lakes and wetlands set a spectacular backdrop for adventure race course design. Racers will be treated to some incredibly scenic flatwater paddling; mountain bike stages consisting of both trail and backroad routes; and engaging trekking sections through thoroughly-mapped trail networks. Complete details are provided in the racer information package below. |

"A great event to get started in adventure racing as well as the longer races for more daring, experienced folks. Sean and his crew are very experienced and always host a challenging, fun, safe event that runs like clockwork."
