Team Trail Shop AR just shared news that they are hosting an event in February.  These guys always put on great events!  Details are as follows:

Participate in teams of two (2) or more and collect as many orienteering controls as you can in 4 hours in the short category or 6 hours in the long. Bring the family out to the 4 hour challenge, or your warm socks to the 6 hour!

Acceptable disciplines are trekking / running, mountain biking, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. We’ll do our best to report snow conditions in the area as the date approaches. Any single discipline listed above is allowed, but of course we’d like to see people try more than one!

Registration / Check-in begins at 8:00 a.m. at the end of Myra Rd. in Porter’s Lake, NS. Details on advanced registration will be available soon. Cost: $30 per person, or $25 if registered in advance. Price included maps and some post race snacks!

Now go out and run off that turkey and all those holiday sweets!

Grant Killian of Untamed New England fame has made his intentions clear for 2010.

Registration is now open for the 3 day adventure race that has proven to be a well organized and challenging race event. You can find all the details online at: Untamed New England

Right after Race the Phantom, this is one event you don’t want to miss.

“What is hard to do is sweet to remember.”

Hard to believe we are thinking about 2010 already. What does NSAR have in store for you? We have some big plans for our two races this year, Who’s Your Daddy? will once again feature the now infamous Tire Pull and Race the Phantom…….well I can’t give away all our secrets.

I will do my best to keep updating both our pages with details as our planning progresses and hopefully you will keep coming back to see what is new. If you or anyone you know is interested in helping out with our 2010 Season please let me know. We are going to form a committee to help take care of some organizational details.

Do you have any suggestions or comments about our events that you think will make our 2010 ones better? Hit the Wall and share em.

We recently attended Storm the Beach hosted by Andrew, Erica, Tim and Jodi which was held in the Halifax area, we had a blast. Hopefully they will make this an annual event, I have already put it on my calendar for next year. I was a very difficult, cold and scenic course that had something challenging for all experience levels.

On a side note we ran into Rob Hughes who was down to take part as well, and as it turns out he is back at it again in the Fredericton area. Here is an email I received from Rob with a link to some upcoming Orienteering Events. Now is the perfect time of year to start practicing your navigating for next season’s adventure races.

Hi Guys,

Rob
