The Town of Parry Sound welcomed us with open arms in 2002 with our Salomon Adventure Challenge Series and we're excited to be back in 2003 with Raid the North! Bordering Georgian Bay and in the heart of the Muskokas, your team will find out why we can't wait to show you this racecourse. This event kicks off our Eastern Canadian summer season and will be run in conjunction with a Salomon Adventure Challenge - clearly, Parry Sound has caught advenure racing fever.

About Parry Sound

Many know Parry Sound as the birthplace of one of Canada's greatest hockey players - Bobby Orr. As adventure racers, we have come to know how the town is surrounded by Provincial Parks, is helping to create the 200 km Park-to-Park Trail to Algonquin, and is the starting point for countless sea-kayak and canoe routes. Parry Sound is the 'the Gateway to Georgian Bay' and has a mandate to become the world-renown jewel of the 30,000 islands.

Throughout the region we have discovered mountain biking, on and off-trail trekking, and paddling routes that wind their way through the deciduous forests, exposed Canadian shield, and various marshlands. Even though it's a race, you can expect to come across a few areas where you will want to snap some photos. Be warned though as May and June is blackfly season in the Muskokas!
