It's been a little while since RockstAR was on the radar, so we wanted to reach out to let you know that the date for 2018 has been confirmed for
Saturday July 21st. Registration is now open, and we're just throwing it out there that you might want to think about getting your spot locked in a little sooner this time around (don't forget that this year's event reached sold-out capacity!)
We've got lots in the works for 2018, including some new task-based checkpoints and the return of some old favourites; some re-tooling of our traditional water-based CPs; a new start for the 8-hour course; and a racecourse made up of 26 all-new checkpoints (20 for the 4-hour course), with some greater options for biking this time around. What might that look like you ask? You'll just have to wait until July to find out!
2018 updates have been made to
www.racetherockstar.com, including the addition of a new
"How it Works" video for those looking to try RockstAR for the first time. We've also added a new page with tonnes of helpful
tips & tricks normally taught at our Spring Into to Adventure Racing clinics. Clinics will not be hosted in 2018, but we've taken all the content and transcribed it into a series of free tutorials. Enjoy!
All-New Storm the Trent!
Like most do, we've come to grow pretty fond of the Haliburton Highlands during the time that we've been hosting RockstAR. So much so, that we've decided to uproot 16 years of tradition, and re-locate our signature Storm the Trent race to the
Village of Haliburton for 2018!
This is a hugely exciting move for us, as it's the first time in nearly 10 years that we've introduced a new host region to STT, and what better place to do it! There will be three entirely-new racecourses offered over the weekend of
May 26-27, including the beginner-level 'Hike' course, the intermediate-level 'Trek', and the 'Trek Elite' advanced course. Like RockstAR, the race is open to teams of two, but also to solos and teams of four. We'll also be introducing a new Family Category in the 'Hike' race for teams with racers under 13 years.

Raid the Hammer
Word is that November 12th's Raid the Hammer adventure run is starting to reach capacity! RTH features full and half-raid course options for teams of three, with a super-gnarly and always-fun mix of
mud, rock and calf killing climbs. Don't miss out on this awesome Fall tradition - check out
