It was another awesome day at Kelso Conservation Area, as over 250 racers left it all out on the trails in this the 5th year of Storm'ing the Ten.

What can we say - it was defintely an event 10 years in the making!

650 intrepid racers, a dedicated and selfless army of race staff, safety personnel and volunteers, a kick-ass host site, and some pretty sweet weather (well, for the most part anyway). All of these elements added up to another spectacular weekend of Storming the Trent! Our biggest event to-date (and quite possibly the largest adventure race ever held in Canada), this year's Storm will be pretty tough to top, and will set the tone as we begin preparations for our 10th anniversary in 2011!
Registration for Salomon Storm the Trent has once again started off at record pace, with 75% of the available spots having already been filled at the time of the early entry cut-off. With the return of our full-weekend race format this year we'll be able to accommodate more racers than ever before, but a registration cap will still have to be imposed. Register your team soon to avoid missing out!
While we were admittedly a little slow out of the gates getting these finalized, samples of our 2010 Storm Swag can now be viewed by clicking here. We're experimenting with some new cuts, designs and screening methods this year, and we're really excited to offer what we think are some pretty cool looking custom-sublimated jerseys at a very reasonable price! As always, thanks go to our friends at Axis Gear, who are by far the best in the business of custom apparel - check out their design gallery at www.axisgear.ca
Canada's rocking-est adventure race experience! Registration is now open for the 3rd annual Saucony RockstAR, with early entry pricing in effect until May 1st for both the 4-hour and 8-hour races.

Storm Racing and Hark Events have finalized their 2010 race schedule, and it looks like this:
On Sunday November 8, check out the 10th Anniversary edition of the Salomon Dontgetlost.ca Raid The Hammer adventure run. It's going to be an epic "East meets West" race through the City of Hamilton from the Redhill Valley along the Niagara Escarpment to the Dundas Valley. Teams of three can expect lots of climbing, tough route choices, and some gnarly running (with surprisingly few roads) through the "Raid" (about 25km) and "Enduro" (about 10km) course options.
Don't miss Canada's only Halloween-themed night trail running event on Friday October 16th, hosted by our good friends at Hark Events. This 5km or 10km trail run through the Lions Valley trails in Oakville is always a ton of fun, featuring on-course haunters and a section routed through a real cemetary, free pumpkins for the first 100 registered racers, best costume prizing, and even a "Creepy Mile" event for the little ones! Check out all the details at trekortreat.ca
Awesome weather, awesome people...awesome day!! What more can be said about this year's Storm the Ten? Race conditions were absolutely ideal, and judging by the comments we've received and the smiling faces we saw, the course adjustments made to last year's event were definitely well-received. If you have any feedback that you'd like to share with us as we begin planning for next year, please feel free to send it to "info at stormevents dot ca"

The 2009 Saucony RockstAR was a massive success, and in spite of the uncooperative weather, there were more smiling faces at the finish line and good cheer at the awards ceremonies than we've ever seen in 8 years of race production! Congratulations to overall 8-hour racecourse winners Beowulf for their impressive 1400-point total, and to team Oh Brothers who picked up 780 points to take the win on the 4-hour course.

It was definitely one for the record books! Not only did this year's race draw the most racers to ever attend an adventure race in Ontario; sell out at the fastest rate in eight years; see more non-motorized boats on Stoco Lake than may have ever been recorded; but it also represented the wettest, muddiest, sloppiest, most rain-soaked event we've ever held!! 
Registration for this year's Salomon Storm the Trent has started off at a record pace, with eighty percent of the 500 available spaces already filled! Be it the lure of Salomon-sponsored prizing for top finishers, the all-new racecourses and the new resort-style host site, the return to our traditional "straight-time" race format, or the all-round good times racers have come to expect from this annual rite of Spring, it seems fairly likely that this year's race will reach full capacity once again. Register soon to avoid disappointment!
Registration for the 2009 Storm Multi-Sport Adventure Series presented by Salomon is now officially open! Early entry rates in now in effect until February 15th, allowing teams to save $10/person off of their registration fees. And new for 2009, race souvenirs will be offered to the first 400 racers to sign up for Salomon Storm the Trent on May 9th, and the first 200 racers to register for Salomon Storm the 10 on September 19th.
Watch for a new course layout to be unveiled at the 2009 Salomon Storm the Ten, designed to minimize transitions per lap and maximize on-course enjoyment! We at Storm Racing continue to be blown away by all that Milton's Kelso Conservation Area offers us in staging Canada's only relay-style adventure race, and we can't wait to return for Year 3 as we prepare for even bigger and better things to come. Watch for more details to be posted throughout the year!
Take it from those who were there - Saucony RockstAR is the new "MUST DO" adventure race event! On July 25, 2009, we will rock you once again - this time with both 4-hour and 8-hour race options, designed to suit teams of all levels. We'll be cranking things up another notch at the Bark Lake Leadership Centre to exceed the standard set at last year's inaugural event, which was unanimously voted by the organizing team of Storm Racing and Hark Events as "the most 'funnest' race we've ever produced." 
For 2009, Canada's largest adventure sports event will take on a whole new region; feature three all-new racecourses hosted from a resort setting; and will return to the traditional "straight-time" (ie. not points-based) race format of years past. As always, solo racers and teams of 2 or 4 will have the choice of three separate events, custom-designed to suit a wide range of skill and ability levels, but without the set time limits imposed at the 2008 event. Race options will include:
Storm Racing is thrilled to welcome Salomon Canada as our new title sponsor for the 2009 season. As the global leader in trail sports products, Salomon has been the most recognized name in Canadian adventure racing since the sport's early beginnings; having revolutionized the concept of trail shoes with design innovations such as the new XT Wings. Be assured that our races next season will feature tons and tons of awesome Salomon prizing!
Storm the Ten 2008 - what an awesome day! If you guys were having even HALF as much fun as it looked like you were having, then our objectives when we created this race were more than exceeded! It was both inspiring and rewarding to watch each of you tackle this racecourse with such energy and enthusiasm, and consider ourselves extremely fortunate for the opportunity to stage this event and have it so well-received. Our many thanks for your support of this new race concept; we will definitely be doing it again in 2009!
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!
The rumours you’ve heard are true - this year’s Storm the Trent “Trek Elite” 8-hour race will represent one-half of the Canadian Qualifier for the 5-day Saab Salomon Mountain-X Race in Savoie Mont Blanc, France!
