Press Release / 06.07.2008

Teams that sign up early for the Frontier Adventure Challenge at Searchmont Resort in September now have a chance to win a Ski & Stay Package for two valued at $500.

Searchmont Resort and the Great Northern Hotel and Convention Centre have generously offered a fantastic getaway package including two nights’ accommodation and two days of skiing for two people, to be won by one lucky racer who signs up by July 21st.

The Frontier Adventure Challenge features teams and solo racers biking, hiking, paddling, and navigating through an unmarked wilderness racecourse that spans over 40km. Teams of three can be all-male, all-female, or coed, or racers can go solo.

In partnership with Searchmont Resort and Tourism Sault Ste Marie, this eight hour race will feature the best trails and scenery around the incredible Searchmont area. Teams will discover more than just the great adventure potential of the area; they will discover the value of teamwork, and they’ll push past their perceived limits.

And if they’re lucky, one racer will return to enjoy some winter sports in the area. Teams should get their registration in by midnight July 21 to be entered to win this fantastic Ski & Stay Package for 2!

Frontier Adventure Sports, the event organizers, say the event is for everyone. “We want racers of all ages to make this a memorable weekend event,” says Geoff Langford, the race director. “We’re offering special pricing for racers under 21 to encourage young competitors. With the right level of participation, we can make this an annual event.”

“The course offers both an Advanced and Regular option, making this a race for everyone,” Langford also said. “It’s perfect cross-training for serious biking, trail running, or paddling athletes, and a great change of pace for triathletes. But at the same time, it’s completely achievable for the weekend warrior.”
