The 'Trek Elite' advanced course offers a unique blend of everything that makes for an epic race experience; combining the best elements of multi-sport and adventure racing into a classic single-day format. This racecourse has been formulated to offer the perfect mix of mental and physical challenge, teamwork and decision-making, as well as speed and endurance.
A total of 80km will be covered over a course that brings together the best of all that the host region has to offer. Solo racers and teams of two or four will pass through a series of checkpoints featuring both marked and unmarked sections, with options for strategizing their route choice to maximize speed and efficiency. Finish times typically range anywhere between six to nine 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 incredibly scenic flatwater paddling; beautiful forest trail runs; navigation and route-finding sections; as well as fun and challenging "mix-of-everything" mountain bike stages. Complete details are provided in the racer information package below. |

"Did my first Storm race yesterday (Trek Elite Solo). I have been racing other types of various events for over a decade, and the organization and planning for Storm was second to none! The crew certainly knew how to execute and the race course design was fair and adventurous! I definitely plan to be back!"
