Since 2010, Contour Adventures principal Bob Miller has annually hosted Wilderness Traverse (WT), offering a classic Canadian AR challenge, with racers mountain biking, paddling and trekking through epic Canadian Shield wilderness a few hours north of Toronto, Ontario.A 24-Hour Adventure Race hosted annually in Ontario, Canada. Teams of 3 or 4 navigate using map and compass over 150 kilometers of rugged Canadian Shield back-country on foot, mountain bike and canoe. The Canadian Shield wilderness is highlighted with thousands of interconnected lakes, old growth forests and exposed precambrian bedrock.

The thirty-hour event, supported by the Canadian Adventure Racing Association (CARA), will serve as the 2025 ARWS North American Championship. The growing regional race series brings together the best mid-distance adventure races in Canada, Mexico and the United States. The stakes at the championship race will be high: the winning team in the premier division will earn a free entry into the 2026 Adventure Racing World Championship,

Race Director Bob Miller’s AR background is extensive in both event management and world class racing. In October 2024, he led Team Canada Adventure to victory in the inaugural ARWS North American Championships and is excited to build on the success of that first event.
