Another obstacle adventure race…Yea right eh !!! This one is 100% Certified Canadian. What does that mean?
We live in igloos and eat snow for breakfast. We invented poutine, and top it with back bacon; we use beer in our cereal,…Epic Meal..puleease!!
We can make a fire by snapping our fingers.
Only 10% of the country has hydro and running water.
Our terrain is the most inhospitable in the world. Hell, this course will carry snow in June. Oh did we mention the course,…its 5km..with 13 hard-core obstacles, 66 % uphill !!!
