The #backcountry 2.5 hrs north of #Toronto has hosted the 24hr @wildernesstraverse since 2010. The 2019 iteration was another epic year. Teams competed on the same course but persevered in different ways. https://youtu.be/ej_smucVN9A .

Remembering a time when a group of us took a 12 hr taxi ride across much of Morocco. The beauty was only tempered by the frequent stops to fill up our empty radiator and the haggling of whether or not our taxis would go off-piste to our destination. We ultimately made it to our desert bivouac by midnight only to have our bags held as insurance until our drivers received their off-roading fee. #tbt . . . .... . #adventures #morocco #rally #trialsandtribulations #unbelievablemoments #saharadesert @ .

Some great & very specific tips for any teams going to compete in the upcoming Eco Challenge from someone who was there in 2002.

If these canyons & mesas could speak, I am certain that they would demand that the land before them be protected. During my few days exploring this unique terrain in southern Utah with our @adventurescience group, we - and the group that followed us - found plenty of evidence of why it should be.

The desert and I have had a complicated relationship. It has unceremoniously filled my tent with 3 inches of its’ sand, pecked at my sunburnt face and momentarily blinded me during one of its storms. Be it the Sahara, The Empty Quarter or the Musandam, I’m constantly drawn to this landscape to glimpse its beauty but also to understand its hardships. Hardships that many local individuals, especially in the Sahara, endure on a daily basis - imagine that your only source of clean drinking water is kilometres away, accessible only on foot and you must cross an expansive dune field to get to it. I take my hat off to the organizations that help people, families and communities across the globe face this constant challenge. @charitywater @water @waterislife @wellsbringhope @waterwellsforafrica

#tbt - After mashing your hands paddling 100km+ for over 24hrs straight, you deserve a few days to rest and heal up, right? Well, not in some adventure races During the Eco-challenge North American Championship in 2003 teams came off of an epic paddling section - it began on the Michipicoten River, then travelled down the entire coast of Lake Superior Provincial park, and didn’t end until teams were a few kms upstream on the Montreal River - only to then have to assemble th...eir bikes for a 150km+ ride. Many teams opted to take a short rest and refuel before continuing a few others decided they had come far enough. #adventureracing #expedition #golight #optoutside #RedefineYourLimits #landscape #scenic #lakesuperior #kayaking #paddling @ Lake Superior Provincial Park See more

I love hockey, football, basketball & baseball just like everyone else but #adventureracing has been kicking ass lately. With the amazing ARWS - Adventure Racing World Series & World Champs held on Reunion Island, Primal Quest / Obstacle Course Racing World Championships partnership, and most recently the announcement of the return of the mother of all races, Eco Challenge it’s the #BestDamnSport. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhoNN528o8A

Adventurer and activist, @gemitasamarra, enjoys a break from exploring the furthest reaches of the Musandam Peninsula. She was part of the @adventurescience team that explored and successfully traversed the region during the "Beyond Roads" Expedition. Gemita will be heading to the Turkey/Syrian border in less than a week to work on a refugee humanitarian project undertaken by her @mynameishumanproject organization. It sounds like a challenging and worthwhile endeavour so ta...ke a look and lend some support. If you're interesting in seeing more from the #BeyondRoads project then check out a trailer for our short doc.
