This was a first-time event held in Canada and did not disappoint. With over 2000 participants racing various distances from the 3K short course on Friday, the 15K course on Saturday and two options for Sunday a Team Relay and a 7K charity event. Each distance offered a variety of obstacles from 15 to 48 challenges spread out over the mountainside. There was a cut off for the 15K of 5 hours where racers would DNF. Great finishers medals in white, blue, green and black. Some brave racers chose to do all 4 to fill their weekend with epic athletic energy. This was a well-organized event and there were little to no lineups excluding the merchandise tent. Blue Mountain resort was an excellent venue located in Collingwood, Ontario. Racers had to qualify to participate by either best time or having completed a set number of OCRs throughout the year. It was a great mix of athletes and even the weather held out until the final day. Make a Wish was the charity from the Sunday event and costumed racers came out to tackle the mountain for a good cause. Overall highly recommended for those looking for a challenging course and a goal for 2017. Rumour has it, it is returning to Blue Mountain for a second year. SWAG was a bit expensive and highly recommend the Sunset Grill for breakfast located right on site -YUM. We stayed at the Blue Mountain Inn a 5 minute walk from the main venue and great clean updated rooms.
