Course Changes Coming

Oof! That stretch looks fairly impassable. We like a challenge but try to balance that against making you all miserable, and some of the thick snow out there is making us look at a few changes, though most of the course looks good and will almost certainly remain the same.

There are likely a few course changes coming soon. Nothing too drastic. Stay tuned; all course changes will be edited in our GPS and cue sheets, and note will be made on the Course Guide page as well.

River Trail Open!

We’re happy to see that the official river trail along the Assiniboine River starting at the Hugo Docks and continuing to The Forks, down the Red River to Churchill Drive is open! We snapped a few pics of where we get on and off the trail (at Hugo and Churchill).

Final GPS Route, Cue Sheets, more…

We’ve been busy finalizing more race details and getting stuff posted to the website.

Check out our Race Bible and our Course Guide to view new info on the course CheckPoint locations and to find links to course GPS and Cue Sheet files.

We’ve also posted finalized info about lap by lap cut-off times. As always though, email us at actifepica@gmail.com anytime with questions.

Toques are ordered! (sorta)

The actual stitching will look a bit different than what you see above but what you see here is more or less the toque design for 2022. All racers and volunteers get one!

Last year we sold a few of our left over toques from previous years and the style and colour combo above was by far the most popular, so we’ve brought it back for 2022 with a slightly different logo to keep things fresh.

The toques are now queued up and ready for production, though we’ll wait until Jan 2 to actually place the order after we have firmer handle on numbers.

Posters are up

Posters are now up in your local bike and running shops, and we hope to stick a few up on local cycling and running routes as early as this weekend. Keep training, race weekend feels like it’s still a ways off but time has a way of speeding up!
