Raid the North Extreme
Length: 400 km
Location: Prince Rupert
The pinnacle of adventure racing in Canada. And for 2007, Raid the North Extreme is the most authentic wilderness expedition race you could choose in North America. Staged in Prince Rupert, BC, on Canada\'s Northwest Coast, one of the wildest places imagineable.
June 23-30: 6 days, 400kms of adventure for your coed team of four. Test yourself on a course designed by Lawrence Foster (Team Holofibre), designer of the 2004 AR World Champs course in Newfoundland.
Paddling vast inlets that puncture the majestic Coast Mountains, under a Summer Solstice full moon. Then trek up thousands of metres of elevation, above the clouds, to snow covered ridges that roll on for miles. Pounding waterfalls crashing into the valleys below, draining glacial meltwater to the Skeena River, where 24 ft tidal changes swell in and out of the Pacific. Mountain bike ancient first nations trails, or long-abandonded mining and forestry roads, to forgotten valleys and passes. And all filmed in HD for North American broadcast.
Don\'t miss out on one of the most unforgettable experiences of your life. Registration includes transport from the airport, hotels before and after the race, race shirt, jersey, bike plate, maps, plus pre-race Opening Ceremonies and banquet, and a post-race awards and party that sets the bar.
