Dontgetlost Adventure Running

Do you all hear that? That's the sound of pavements clearing and (eventually) trails clearing up. Perfect time for the start of our 2021 Spring X-League, next week! Every week for 10 weeks we release a new course that you can run whenever you please. For long term X-Leaguer's we have new areas, a couple of different course formats to keep you on your toes and a special challenge in one week for last Fall season's participants. The early season races will be fairly pavement heavy until the trails clear and dry out. Get signed up, the first course will be released this Sunday night! https://www.x-league.ca/

Registration for the 2021 Raid the Rib Adventure Run is now open! We will be using the same protocol we used Raid the Hammer last November: Staggered start times Online registration only No indoor access on site on race day... Solo racers allowed, or teams of two or three There will be a strict participant cap. Once we reach it - that's it, there will be no room to 'squeeze on more in' https://www.dontgetlost.org/raidtherib

Our fall XCEL program registration is now live at dontgetlost.org/xcel If you are a current ARX participant, or know a current ARX participant looking to increase their running fitness and navigation proficiency, this program is for you. Weekly training plans, live navigation discussions with experts, team building and racing! Sign up!

We are happy to introduce the new XCEL program to the DGL roster. If you are a junior competitor in the ARX program and are looking to enhance your running performance, navigation proficiency, and build friendships with like minded peers, then this is the program for you. All the details are available at dontgetlost.org/xcel. Registration will open later this week.

We're happy to announce our final 'race' of the year, our traditional Hamloppet 2020 Two things make this race different from all the others: All the checkpoints are local residents house Christmas decorations The 'winner' isn't decided by the fastest time to complete the course. On registration you have to guess how long you think it will take you to complete the course, whoever gets closest is the 2020 trophy winner!... All proceeds from this run will be donated to Food4Kids Hamilton, Ontario! For further details, click through to the race page on the website https://www.dontgetlost.org/hamloppet

In order to keep people motivated and moving in a responsible, distanced manner - we'd like to announce a December Adventure Running Challenge for people in the Hamilton/Halton area: The Winter Rally. If you are in a lockdown area or further afield, we ask you to sit this one out. This is a 6km time trial loop on Chedoke Golf Course. This is a true HARD Adventure Running loop, with extensive climbs, rough trails in places and potential ice. Our challenge for the month of Dece...mber is to record as fast a time as possible. Run it as many times as you like and clock your time with the route in MapRunF OR via Strava segment: https://www.strava.com/segments/2908999 One final kicker, in order to log a valid time the course MUST be run either in the dark (with a headlamp of course) OR while there is snow on the ground. Given that there is winter golf on the eastern side of Chedoke Golf Course if either of those conditions are not met, it won't be possible to run. To sign up for more specific course details and the MapRunF access code, please sign up via the Google Form link below AND make sure you have signed a 2020 DGL waiver (if you haven't already this year) https://forms.gle/ZS4Gd1enHwfMVhnu6
