Canada's Greatest Know it All went orienteering this week for their challenge on the Discovery Channel.

Three of GHO's Attackpointers (Pathetic, Bender and Getawaystix) set a great set of challenges for the teams at Canterbury Hills near Hamilton.

Here is a behind the scenes of the filming.

Is it bad that as a clueless American, I saw the thread title and thought, "Alex Trebek went orienteering"? :)

Looks like an intriguing show!

"We are experiencing temporary difficulties downloading your lineup. Please wait another few seconds and try again if you're still having problems.

Thanks for your patience"

...but I got to watch 4 commercials! They worked just fine.

Our part starts in Section 3 if you want to skip ahead. It may not work outside of Canada - hence the error message above.

Last week about 15 of our Adventure Running X athletes took to the icy ravines of Canterbury Hills to see if they could beat the time of Canada's Greatest Know It All from the TV show.

Here is the pre-race hype.
