Nathan
Fa'ave
"One
reason I adventure race is for different experiences I get,
new cultures, environments and people. I live in a sea side
town with a population of about 200 people. Not only does
everyone know each other, we know what everyones having
for dinner. An urban adventure race in Canada's biggest
city is a good example of something different, and I'm really
excited about the adventure of it".
s
an adventure racer, Nathan Fa'ave has experienced the highs
and lows that 4 and 5 day gruelling events brings. Nathan
has raced all around the world with the successful Seagate
team and is no stranger to climbing mountains, kayaking
down jungle rivers and going without sleep for 50 hours.
