Race the CAT: Year 10 recap

Just over 10 years ago, we had this idea: Why not put on an adventure race in the Kingston area? We had both been competing in adventure races for a number of years, but always had to travel for them. While neither of us had ever directed a race before, we had competed in many and between us both, we had put on different events and knew our way around social media. In 2015, the Cataraqui Adventure Trek was born!

And this past weekend, we celebrated 10 years of this wee event!

Our course saw about 6km of single track mountain biking, just under 1km of paddling (or more ..some paddlers didn’t keep a straight, direct line to the turn around) and almost 2.5km of trail running. Racers had 4 hours to complete as many loops as they could (or wanted too!)

Nine racers/teams completed 5 laps, 13 completed 4 laps, 7 completed 3 laps, 9 completed 2 laps, and one team that completed one lap.

Top Male Team: The Misfits 5 laps in 3:33:44

Top Female Team: Chafing the Dream 4 laps in 3:13:53
