Whitehorse * Adventure * Run '09: Back to the Wild

Recruitment has been rapidly filling the ranks of this year's Whitehorse * Adventure * Run, or W*A*R as it is affectionately known as. Multiple veteran teams are returning to this year's run, including a return of Team Alaska!


The W*A*R is Whitehorse's ALL-TERRAIN half-marathon. Teams of two have to complete a 21-km cross-country adventure race style run. The event is accessible to all runners and only minimal navigational skills are required (if you can read a road map, you are good to go). Details and registration are found at the W*A*R website:

This year's W*A*R is on Sunday, May 31st. 8am Registration & Mandatory Gear check. Pre-registration has now expired, but we'll still accept late recruitment - here is the link to the recruitment forms.

For folks not ready for an all-terrain half-marathon, there is also a recreational class called P.E.A.C.E. (People Enjoying Adventurous Competitive Exercise) which is solo and typically 10km in length.
