The Summit Seeker AR will combine mountain biking, trekking/running, overland navigation and rappelling in a 6 hour, run-bike-run format. We will be announcing additional skills/disciplines involved in 2024's edition of the Summit Seeker AR soon.

Ever Active Schools is near and dear to our hearts and we want to give back to them and support their incredible work in schools. If you can, rally your team and encourage those who can too, to donate to your Team Fund Raising Page. We've set a solid goal and with your support can make it! **Teams will be awarded additional 'points' towards their race score for money fundraised!

The Racer Guide will give participants an overview of the event and answer some more detailed questions you may have. While the guide is comprehensive, it does not have specific race instructions - these will be provided on Race Day.
