Storm the Ten
Sean Roper / 23.09.2007
Similar in many ways to the immensely popular 8 or 24-hour mountain bike relay formats held throughout the province, this new race concept combines the multi-discipline excitement of adventure racing with the fun and social atmosphere of a relay endurance event. Solo racers and teams of 2, 3, 4 and 6 will paddle, run and bike through a short-course adventure race as many times as possible within a 10-hour time frame.
While the total distance of the overall course will be just over 10km, the multi-transition format is expected to draw out average lap times to at least an hour. Teams will complete each lap in pairs, tagging off at a central transition area at the heart of the racecourse. Hosted at one of southern Ontario’s best-known mountain bike destinations, this event will compact all of the best elements of a classic adventure race into a 980-acre park. Situated at the heart of the majestic Niagara Escarpment, Kelso Conservation Area had for years been host to numerous 24 Hours of Adrenaline events, and with its 50-acre lake, 5-lift ski hill and extensive network of singletrack, is virtually custom-made for this exciting new race format.
Axis Gear STORM the 10 is the newest creation of Storm Racing, producers of Canada’s largest multi-sport adventure events. Full details are available at www.stormevents.ca
