The Wild Wendigo Adventure Race offers something for everyone. Both the 2-4 hr sport sprint and the 4-8 hour adventure sprint will have mountain biking, trail running and paddling. As always we give racers choices for race routes and strategy. Check out a map of the area. Too Cool will be based out of Willis Creek Park.
