Although the forecast was for torrential rain, 23 people in total turned out for the first Outside Expeditions Multisport Race on Saturday, June 24, in North Rustico. 15 racers competed in the solo category, and 8 in the teams category. The course began in front of the Rustico Community Market with a very hilly 25.4 km road bike leg around New Glasgow and Cavendish. The North Rustico Fire Department and the New Glasgow Fire Department provided excellent traffic control at all corners, for which we are very grateful.
The bikers raced into the parking lot in front of our shop to transition to the running leg, which consisted of a 7.2 km rolling out-and-back run through the National Park, finishing at the beach by the lighthouse. Here the racers grabbed their kayaks and canoes and launched into Rustico Bay. The swiftly flowing tide made for a challenging start, and fishing boat wakes made for some exciting moments, but all completed the 5.5 km out-and-back course in Rustico Bay without mishap.
The rain held off, the winds were light, and there were plenty of snacks for all at the finish!
Thanks to all the participants and volunteers for making this first-time event such a success, and we look forward to holding it again next year. The event raised $500 for the Island Nature Trust and the North Rustico Fire Department, who are donating their share to the QEH Burn Unit.
