Frontier Adventure Sports has established an international reputation for solid logistics and challenging racecourses.

These non-stop races range in length from 8 hours to six days and require coed teams of three or four to hike, mountain bike, paddle and negotiate fixed ropes, while navigating an unmarked racecourse through the wilderness.

A Raid the North Team is a co-ed group of four people with a variety of sport, outdoor and wilderness backgrounds.

[1] Strong navigation skills and wilderness experience are required as the course covers roughly 500 kilometers of unmarked terrain.

Raid the North Extreme competitors come from across Canada and the United States and tend to have a broad multi-sport experience and/or extensive outdoor skills.

[10] Each race highlights the unique history, untouched wilderness and culture of the host region, including First Nations hunting and trading routes as well as other historic sites.

RTNX also has a significant economic impact on the host region, creating an estimated local boost of $2.3 million.
