Mind Over Mountain
Our second stop of the series takes us to Ladysmith, a spirited town with outstanding paddling opportunities in Ladysmith Harbour. It is also home to the challenging Holland Creek Trail. This race will be both epic and scenic and should not be missed!
The Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race in Ladysmith will feature ~45 km of kayaking, mountain biking, orienteering, trail running, and mystery events. The exact distances, course route, and order will not be disclosed until the night before the race -- in true adventure racing format.
New this year is the addition of a Beginners Course which will be approximately half the distance of the regular course and will have very little technical mountain biking. This is a great stepping stone before taking on the full MOMAR course. Only teams of 2 or 4 are allowed for the beginners race. There will not be an orienteering component in the beginners race course. Estimated completion time is 3-5 hours.
Make sure you plan on staying the Saturday night as each race will feature a 'not-to-be-missed' dinner and after party.
A Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race is a one-day event that challenges the bodies and minds of racers over 40-50km of rugged West Coast terrain and features the multi-sport disciplines of kayaking, mountain biking, trail running, and orienteering. Competitors race solo, or in teams of two or four. From the most novice of racers to the most seasoned of athletes, our adventure races will test all of your faculties and prove to be one of your biggest endurance accomplishments of the year.
Get your team together and sign up early as this race is limited to the first 200 racers. The after party will once again return to the Cowichan Golf and Country Club for its infamous banquet and dance--the final stage to an epic day.
