6 weeks to our sold out Challenge the Shield Adventure Race.
This year's race will include four backcountry 125 point challenges. The popular swim-run challenge is back as well as the MTB relay and island challenge.
For our NEW 4th backcountry challenge we got inspiration from the Rockstar adventure race from 8-10 years ago. Any ideas what our mystery challenge is?

The popular island checkpoint is back and now with more cow bell! 🔔
Last year these guys on Team Ultimate Rizzbee gave us the idea to ring a cowbell on the island during this backcountry 125 point CP challenge! We loved it so much we are adding it to this year's race. But our race volunteer on the mainland, will make you go back to the island again if he feels he's gotta have more cow bell. 🔔 Special prize to the first team that rings the island CP cow bell.
Race day is September 13th but only 10 team spots remain.
Fee increase at midnight on Canada Day!
