Our many thanks to all of you for making our 10th anniversary race season such a successful one.  It was a spectacular year of great fun and great events, and we look forward to bringing you even more in 2012!                                     

Planning for next year is already well underway, and there are a LOT of very exciting new developments in the works that we'll be sharing with you over the coming months.  What we will tell you now however, is that our 2012 race dates have all been confirmed, and they look like this:

Storm the Trent - May 12-13, 2012

ESAR - June 16, 2012

RockstAR - July 28, 2012

Storm the Ten - September 15, 2012                                      

Further details around host sites, race details, and all the many, many things we have in store for next year will be posted when registration officially launches on December 16th.

              

Be sure not to miss out on Canada's largest night trail running event!  Saucony Trek or Treat is a Halloween-themed 5km or 10km after-dark trail run through the hauntingly beautiful trail system of Oakville's Sixteen Mile Creek.  Our good friends at Hark Events absolutely LOVE Halloween, so you can be certain that this will be one of the most fun and entertaining running events you will ever take part in!  Check it out and sign up today at www.trekortreat.ca

            

Like what we did this year?  There is only one item on our 2011 Christmas list - and it's a vote for "Best Adventure Race" in support of Storm the Trent in the annual Get Out There Magazine Reader's Choice Awards!        

 

Although it may seem like shamelss self-promotion, your votes really do support us in our dealings with sponsors, media, landowners and community stakeholders, which ultimately lends to the success of Storm events.   We would greatly appreciate a few minutes of your time to submit your votes at www.surveymonkey.com/s/WZZCMLB  

 

Canada's original "adventure running" event returns to the Dundas area on Sunday November 13th, and it's sure to be awesome!  An always-unique combination of orienteering, trekking, trail and road running, this event is open to coed, male, and female teams of three, and features both Full Raid and Half Raid options.  Late entry pricing goes into effect on October 21st, so sign up soon!  Check it out at www.dontgetlost.ca                                                                                                             

Please note that Storm Racing will be offline from October 26th through to November 15th. During this time I'll have the honor of joining Team Milton Basement Racers and 5 other teams from across the country taking part in the Adventure Racing World Championships in Tasmania.  If you'd like to see how our Canadian teams are doing, check in at www.xpd.com.au starting November 2nd for leaderboard updates.  This 700km racecourse is expected to take anywhere between 6 to 10 days to complete, so there should be lots of exciting coverage!
