Registration for Canada's largest winter orienteering race and the largest snowshoe race in Canada east of the Rockies is now open.

Voted as one of Canada's Top Awesome Winter Adventures by Explore Magazine.

Given the growth and popularity of this race we are pretty certain it WILL SELL OUT! Register early to avoid disappointment. Early bird registration ends on December 31st, 2010
