Next race in the DontGetLost Adventure Running Series is the 2-hour choose your adventure Icebreaker on December 5th in Burlington, ON. This race will also be our Fall ARK Fest. A great event to introduce families and kids to adventure running.
What a great race. Perfect weather, good teams, great course and amazing terrain.
And what never gets mentioned regarding DGL events, the outstanding print quality of the maps. I always end up reviewing the maps from Raid the Hammer with non-Orienteering more than any other event (by far) and just the look of the maps is top-notch.
Great job to DGL. Wait, snacks could have been better this year compared to the past...
Yes! Awesome day. Super fun course, (hills were evil)...great to see lots of old faces, nice to meet some new ones.
Thanks DGL. Quality stuff. Nice touch with the food trucks.
The only map I've raced on from this event was Rockcliffe Trails, so it was cool to get out on some adjacent areas. If I didn't love my situation in Toronto, I'd move to Dundas in a heartbeat...
Congrats to Harper Fordnation and the Wine O's for kicking our ass. You guys were machines.
And Hammer, I screwed up my part of the memory-o...so no, I don't have a good memory. I suffered from some 'rusty compass' syndrome too...man, i was all over the place! Piss poor navigation.
Wokitoki (Chad) is a beast. What a lad. Carried the squad. A true old boy.
Looking forward to more racing!
Idea for a section of next year's race: (if it's in the DV)
Streamered 'trail run' for main route choice leg of 1986 World Cup race. Oh ya!!
But I imagine (and I think I recall), that there was some sort of multiple page spread (with 5 colour map!), of the key route choice leg of the race in an old edition of ONA. Maybe the jury was still out in terms of the optimal route choice. Then again, route choice is pretty subjective and personal.
...and I'm sure the vegetation and water features have changed.
I've run that course enough to tell you the best route even if was streamered that no Canadian could run it faster that Wehlin raced it while navigating on race day. Oh yeah and we re-raced the WC race from '86 as part of the 2011 RTH
