Over 450 Racers Storm the Trent in Warsaw...

What an awesome day! Not only were we blessed with amazing weather, fantastic race staff and volunteers, an absolutely ideal host site and good times all around, but we were thrilled to once again have the privlege of hosting Canada's largest off-road multi-sport event. Our many thanks to our racers and race supporters for another incredible race!

A special congratulations goes to Bob Miller, Scott Ford and Bill Wells of Team Urban Athlete, who will be doing some travelling in the French Alps this summer, having clinched the Canadian Qualifier spot for the Saab Salomon Mountain-X Race at this year's Storm the Trent. A few review of this nail-biter of a qualifier is available here, courtesy of Pete Cameron of Salomon Canada.

Storm the Trent is SOLD OUT!

Although the 450 spots for the 2008 Axis Gear Storm the Trent presented by Salomon are officially taken, a waiting list will be in effect for the next two weeks, so that we can allow racers not yet registered to fill the inevitable cancellations that will occur between now and Race Day. If you would like to be added to the waiting list, please write to info(at)stormevents(dot)ca with your email address and phone number, indicating your team size and the race that you wish to take part in. We will contact you directly if space becomes available.

Storm the Trent Registration Filling up Fast!

Despite the "extended" winter of 2008, registration for this year's Axis Gear Storm the Trent presented by Salomon has seen its strongest start ever, and we do expect to hit full-capacity this year. Be sure to register soon to make certain you have a spot in Canada's largest multi-sport adventure event! Note also that our late entry pricing goes into effect as of April 19th.

Also important to keep in mind is the fact that on-site canoe rentals and Storm Swag sales are likewise starting to reach their maximum numbers. If you need us to reserve a boat for you, or want to take home one of our custom jerseys, make sure to book it soon, because when they're gone - they're gone!
