Formerly the Woolastook Shuttle Run. No…..Andrew has not left us……I just figured since he starte the event but was no longer around to run it, then it should be renamed for NSAR purposes. This will be the same basic format that Andrew ran back in the day, an eight hour event during which teams or individuals may compete to see who gets the most loops completed. More details will  be provided in the coming weeks but the date has been set.

Date: Sept 11, 2010
Start: 8am
Finish: 4pm
Cost: Team of 3 – $60  / Team of 2 – $40   / Solo – $25
The event will be followed by a BBQ and some war stories……details to follow. *** Details now available under Our Races Section***

Here they are folks, again we want to thank everyone for making this year’s race a HUGE success, can’t wait till next year. We will try and get some photos posted this week, but there are a lot to go through. It was previously noted that the winner of the Mommy was Lyn, however Lyn was so surprised that she had beaten everyone that she went back to the scene of the tire pull early Sunday morning before work to ensure she had done the entire pull. Unfortunately she discovered that she had turned around a little earlier than she should have, and called Nat immediately to let him know. Thanks for the honesty Lyn, Karma will smile on you.

Boat Types
There has been some questions recently regarding what types of boats you can use for the Daddy. We are in the process of updating the gear list to reflect these changes. If it is a boat and does not have a motor, you can use it. Kayaks, Canoes, Tub, Row Boat, Inner Tubes, Water Wings….whatever you like, however you must have a pfd.

Race format and distances
Quite a few people have asked about the race format and distances/disciplines and so here’s the deal:
The race is organized in a Rogaine format. You will have a “Gear Stash” at the start/finish where you will be able to leave/access your bike, shoes, food, etc. This stash can be visited at any point during the race. You are free to choose what discipline(s) you do and what order you collect the checkpoints in. Our suggestion is to develop a strategy that suits your team’s strengths and that will allow you to collect the most checkpoints in the time allocated. All gear must be returned to the stash before the end of the race and mandatory gear must be carried with you at all times(see list).

Breaking News!!!

Natural Selection Adventure Racing has confirmed the start location of this year’s Who’s Your Daddy? 4 to 8 Hour Adventure Race. A company spokesman is on record as saying “…this year will be the funnest yet.” Although not grammatically correct, the underlying sentiment is absolutely true…..WYD10 will be the best one to date.

Start Location: 992 Onondaga Street, Oromocto, NB

Boat rentals are still available through Paul at Eco-Logical Adventures (start location). Give him a call to book your boat at 506-357-6869 or drop him an email at info @ ecologicaladventures.ca

This year we will have the awesome Tire Pull stage to determine Who’s Your Daddy/Mommy and a new surprise discipline.

Let us know if you plan on attending so we can be sure to have a set of maps for you on race day.
