Who : Paul, Hai, Tracy, Mel, Lucy, Darrel and Blake = "Just Add Water - Team JAW"
Course: 120km, 24 hours starting at 16:00 (4pm) Saturday June 21st. Race elements include Mountain Biking, Hiking, Orienteering, Canoeing, Rappelling, Zip-Lines. UTM grid for all navigation. Just map and compass. No GPS allowed.
So far, that's all we know. Course details won't be released until 12 noon on race day. Check-in and race start will be located at the Fairmont Chateau Montebello, so at least we start in style, anyway.
Our goals are to have fun, and try to finish the race. None of us has ever done a full 24 hour adventure race before, but we're keen to try.
So we're training - kind of. We do something on Wednesday nights, and something on Sundays. So far we've clocked approx 5 km last Wednesday evening (2.5 hrs), and approx 8 km snowshoe/hike on Sunday (4 hrs). I know I know, we've got a lot of training ahead of us!
Join the adventure today!

An editorial note: The 5km mentioned should read 10km over 2.5hrs.
