Whistler

Overview

Saturday, September 9 - Sunday, September 10, 2006

Join us as we celebrate the 11th running of one of North America's ORIGINAL adventure races and the only one of its kind - a 2 day multi-sport stage race. During your adventure, you will experience the best of what south-western British Columbia has to offer: stunning views, lush Pacific Coast rainforests, waterfalls, mountains, lakes and pristine, glacier-fed rivers. It is truly a majestic sensory experience. But this is not just a sightseeing excursion. It is one of the most rewarding personal challenges you will ever put yourself through! The best part though is that you will not even notice how challenging it is… 'cause you'll be having SO MUCH FUN !

Brand new format for 2006! We have changed the format to day 1 being an epic point to point from Pemberton (North of Whistler) to Whistler and day 2 being a loop starting at the same point as the finish line at Whistler Village. We thought that the 11th year should be really different and exciting. There is so much terrain that we have not explored in Whistler. This is a world class mountain biking destination, so if you like to ride sweet, rolling, big mountain cross country friendly trails…then you are in luck. If you also like to trail run, scramble, trek/run in the mountains on trails and through big timber forests, up rivers, with breathtaking views of the mountains… then you are even luckier! The course will also feature paddling on both days (new for whistler sea2summit) - scenic flat water river and lake paddling to be exact. You'll rent your boat for 2 days, and your support team will become integral in meeting you at your transition area after each paddle section. Your support team for 2006 will have 1 or 2 transition areas to meet you at before they greet you at the finish line. The transitions are easy for them to get to so any vehicle will do.

Day One will start north of Whistler in Pemberton, and Day Two STARTS AND FINISHES in Whistler Village. This same type of format has been very successful at Panorama as family and friends can enjoy the village while you are out for hours racing. It is also convenient for everyone to have the finish line stay at the same place for the duration of the weekend in the heart of one of the most exciting mountain villages in the world. You can check into one of the hundreds of accommodations options in Whistler, sleeping snug as a bug in fresh sheets after hours of rolling around in the dirt, and cool streams for 5 to 9 hours each day. We have also added a one day race for those that want to give it a try for the first time, or for those that don't have the time for 2 days of racing.

What is new for the Whistler sea2summit in 2006 ? Everything! But it is still the same old action packed, big mountain, epic experience that sea2summit has been from the very beginning, but even better ! Our goal remains the same - to provide an attainable, yet challenging experience for all with our goal to get everyone across the finish line, and with a smile.
