When: Saturday September 8, 2012
Where: Torrance Barrens, Muskoka, Ontario, Canada.
Host Site: YMCA Camp Pine Crest (1090 Gullwing Lake Rd. Torrance, ON P0C 1M0)

Categories:

Solo Male & Female, Masters (45+) Solo Male & Female
Teams of 2*: All-Male, All-Female, Co-Ed, Junior, Parent-Child (Junior teams have both members between the ages of 14 and 18. Parent-Child consists of one parent/guardian over 18, and one child aged 13 or under. Age as of Sept. 8, 2012)

* Teams of 2 complete the entire course together, must stay within 100m of each other at all times and must cross the finish line together.

Pine Crest Course: 4km Paddle - 22km Mountain Bike – 5km Trail Run
Total Distance: 31km (expected finishing times: 2 to 4 hours)

The Pine Crest Course was designed to strike a balance between fun & adventure. It would be ideal for entry-level multisporters or adventure racers, or for more experienced participants looking for a challenging 2 hour race. A clover-leaf layout is used, boasting one central transition area creating a very spectator friendly event.

Championship Course: 14km Paddle & Portage – 52km Mountain Bike – 17km Trail Run
Total Distance: 83km (expected finishing times: 6 to 12 hours)

The Championship course was designed for the experienced athlete, or outdoor enthusiast looking to test their limits on a marked course through the remote backcountry. Completing this course would be equally enduring as a 1/2 ironman event, but even more challenging due to the technical nature of the sports involved.

Kids Race: Cancelled for 2012 due to lack of participation and a less than ideal course at our new host site (we weren't comfortable with the kids riding and running on roads open to traffic).

Start Times: Championship Course: 8:00am, Pine Crest Course: 10:00am

Boat Rentals: Canoe & Kayak Rentals are available at an additional cost of $40 per boat. Canoe & Kayak rental includes PFD, paddle and safety equipment, as well as delivery and pick-up from the host site.
