Our Winter Adventure Race will take place at the Kelowna Nordic Ski & Snowshoe Club on Saturday January 24th!
Bring your xc skis (classic or skates), your snowshoes & your sense of adventure and join us for a half day of fun.
Collect as many checkpoints as you can or wish and return to the finish line before the end of the 4h mark. You may choose to stay on skis or snowshoes the entire time or to switch means of transport during the race but you cannot go on snowshoe trails with skis and vice versa.
Some points will only be accessible on skis and some only on snowshoes so if you aim to clear the course or be competitive, you will need both means of transport.
Good navigational skills and strategy planning will make the difference! Bring your compass too! NO GPS Allowed in the true spirit of Adventure Racing. You can race solo or along with your friends!
