The interest in having one of our Dontgetlost.ca Adventure Running series races linked to the theme of the War of 1812-1813 was so popular we have decided to make the entire 2012-2013 series fit this theme (all three races).
Details are still being worked out but the first race in the series will be the 2012 Raid the Hammer (The Battle of Stoney Creek). The Battle of Stoney Creek is considered to be one of the most important battles of the War of 1812-1813 (a victory for the British, and a turning point in the defence of Upper Canada).
The final race in the series is the Giant's Rib Raid (The Battle of Beaver Dams). This battle was made famous by Laura Secord's 32km run from Queenston to Decew House.
