With a unique "choose-your-own-adventure" format, a choice of short or long course options, and a post-race buffet like no other, this is the event where adventure racing teams of 2 or 3 are truly treated like the rock stars they are!

Staged exclusively in the legendary Haliburton Highlands, the RockstAR race venue at the Bark Lake Leadership Centre is bar none the best site to host an adventure race anywhere in Ontario.

Now compliment it with inexpensive on-site accommodations and an absolutely perfect venue to host a fantastic post-race party.

Trail Fix

Trail Fix is a 100km point-to-point trail run relay for teams of four or five, featuring 10 distinct stages designed to suit all runner types, by blending the widest imaginable range of Southern Ontario trail and terrain elements.

Traversing most of the entire region of Caledon, over 90% of the 100+ kilometre course follows trail routes.  Centred in the Greenbelt and bordered by both the Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine, this is a host region that boasts of some of the best and most diverse trail running terrain in Southern Ontario.  Be it escarpment ridge running, wide open meadows, countryside rail trail, technical rock-hopping or smooth rolling singletrack that delivers your best runner’s high, this is the course to get your fix!

Our Past Events
Emergency Services Adventure Race logo
Emergency Services Adventure Race
Created for emergency services personnel but open to all, ESAR features long and short course options in the classic sprint adventure race format. Established in 2003, this race boasts the unique distinction of having been hosted from thirteen different race sites since its inception, all against the backdrop of Central and Southern Ontario's best adventure terrain.

Teams of 3 competing in Fire, Police, EMS, Military and Civilian divisions are given the option of trekking, paddling and mountain biking their way through two racecourse designs, ranging from three-to-five or five-to-eight hours in length. Teams must work together as they navigate their way through an unmarked racecourse and contend with map and compass work, strategy and decision-making, the assignment of special tasks, as well as the many challenges posed by the natural elements. Finishing is not an option, it's a duty.

Storm the 'Scarpment
Storm the 'Scarpment features both 25 and 50km course options made up of paddleboarding, biking, paddling and trekking stages; all against the backdrop of the mighty Niagara Escarpment. This UNESCO world biosphere reserve landmark sets the stage for the 'Summit' and 'Apex' racecourses, each of which offers a unique mix of technical and highly scenic terrain, combined with some spectacularly fun singletrack riding.

The Fall counterpart to our signature Storm the Trent race, this event is similarly designed to be an entry point into the sport of adventure racing, and is open to both soloists and teams of two. Racers ranging from absolute beginners to seasoned veterans can expect a day of multi-sport adventuring that is nothing short of challenging, thrilling, fast and fun!
