Raid the North:
Ottawa River Valley
(Esprit Rafting - Fort Coulonge, QC)
July 14-16, 2006
 Esprit
Rafting, in the Ottawa River Valley near Fort Coulonge, QC
will make a wild and exciting host site for Raid the North. While
hosting our 2005 Championship races here, we were reminded not only
of how incredible the region is, but what great hosts the Esprit
gang are. The area offers exceptional course design opportunities,
including daunting rock faces and canyons, and churning whitewater of
all levels.

the night begins. Leading up to the party, we'll have an awards
ceremony to recognize the top teams, share race stories, recognize
volunteers, and award more prizes for all sorts of crazy reasons.

Out There Magazine) featuring a live band all the way from Mexico,
