The Sea to Summit Adventure Race competitors spent the first day (Sept. 18) of their race experience in Squamish and then cycled from Squamish to Whistler on the second day. The competitors faced a number of challenges over the course of the race. On day one a mystery challenge forced the competitors to test their archery skills along with the skills more traditionally associated with adventure racing.
The day one race included a 6-km trek/run, a 750-metre portage, a 20-km paddle, a 19-km bike ride, another 12-km trek and finally a 26-km mountain bike ride.
The second day of the race started with a police escort from Squamish Junction Park on Cleveland Avenue to the Cheakamus Valley. Competitors did a 75-km ride to Whistler then had to do a 18-km trek on the lower reaches of Mt. Sproatt on the west side of Whistler.
More than 250 people participated in the race.
