The Sunnto Adventure Run at the Adventure Sports
Games will combine a mix of trail-running, road running and off-trail
travel, as competitors visit checkpoints located in escarpment
country near Collingwood Ontario.
The host site for this event will be The Village at Blue Mountain;
however, participants will be bussed to an undisclosed location
to start the race. Competitors should expect to experience a wide
variety of terrain, including prominent hills, technical trails,
escarpment ridges, deep-cut valleys, meandering creeks, old farmers
fields and the occasional ski run. All of these features provide
an abundance of potential checkpoint placement opportunities,
and will ensure only the most cunning navigators will come out
on top.
This event is open to both teams of two and soloists.
We expect the fastest competitors to finish within 2 hours,
while slower times could reach 3 hours. The distance will be roughly
16-18km's, however individual route choices could impact this
distance.
The race will recognize top three finishers in the male and
female solo category, as well as the all-male, all-female, coed,
and masters team categories.
