Raid the North Extreme 2007 Dates Announced (Officially)
Press Release / 30.01.2007

Frontier Adventure Racing produces world-class adventure races that are challenging, fun and safe. Raid the North Extreme is established as one of the premiere events in the sport, and in 2007 it appears to be the only true expedition-length race in North America.
“We feel that the event will provide an excellent opportunity to showcase Prince Rupert and our partner communities throughout Northwest BC and we are excited to be working with Frontier on this project,†said Jillian Greenwood of Tourism Prince Rupert.
In order to ensure the best possible experience for both competitors and volunteers, the timing for the race was chosen after extensive analysis of many factors, including the schedule of other major events around the world, weather and wildlife issues, logistics, and seasonal factors. The week of June 23rd – 30th will feature the second-highest tidal change of the year, and competitors will start the race following June 21st Summer Solstice and will celebrate the close of the event under a full moon on June 30th.
“FAR is anticipating an exceptional Raid the North Extreme that will have all of the components we feel a great race should: a host city that offers incredible geographic diversity, a challenging course designed by top racers, a competitive field of teams, television coverage and a support team that ensures racers are welcomed, well informed, and safe,†said Geoff Langford, President of Frontier.
