Something new in Adventure Racing? Not really, in ESAR we have always had special tasks, and this is just another challenge. This video is to help you be more prepared when you hit the functional fitness checkpoint. You have to complete 45 burpees as a team in order to punch into the control and to move on in the race. Post any questions to thoughts to comments and I will do my best to answer then.
thanks

A video that I just found and I thought was gone, but it has resurfaced! The ESAR 2009 race at C.F.B. Borden out of Camp Blackdown was a special opportunity to cover terrain that most never get to see or traverse. Here in this video we follow the top team with Bob Miller, Dave Coroner, John Blackwell (Supplier Pipeline SPI / Shed Coffee Bar / AR studs) . You also see team Any Style who has won the 911 mens category for the last 8 years. I feel the beauty in this video is not only the interesting angle and perspective at which it was shot (out the back of an SUV ) but the conversations by the top teams, and the chatter on the radio as the race staff puts on a seamless race for the racers. A must see if you think that race organization is in your future. Grab a coffee as this video is cut down to 10 minutes and is the first portion of a 45 minute ride to CP 1.
For the full version and another perspective you can see the helmet cam version from the guys at RaceDayRush.com here. Check it out

Congrats to Adrian Makurat and Team RaceDayRush.com for their awesome finish at ESAR. The backdrop for this race is in and around the Canadian Forces Base Borden / Camp Blackdown. Thanks to Adrian for filming, and some of the shot are from the Race Director Mark Arnold when he was cruising around the race course. Click on RaceDayRush.com to see the video.
With a race that is designed for Emergency
Services, the world leaders really should have checked with us before they put their ‘event’ on top of the coolest 911 race around. With the G8 summit being in Huntsville Ontario this year, it puts a strain on policing resources. What I’ve been hearing from racers, is that their vacation request have been denied or are pending the unknown requirements of the G8. As a police officer I worked the last G8 summit in Canada when it was in Calgary, and I understand that duty calls and that you have a certain obligation to your service. I don’t want to let that get in the way of you prospectively signing up for ESAR and having fun if you are sprung free.
This is what ESAR is going to do:
1. If you are on standby for
the G8/G20 summit this June, then send us an email and let us know.
2. Register for ESAR and we will hold you a racing spot before the race sells out. Which it has for the last 3 years).
3. We will hold your spot until the week of the race and if you cannot make it at that time we will hopefully have a waiting list of teams to draw from to fill your spot.
4. ESAR will issue a full refund of the registration fees minus the online fee that applies.
Please call us if you have any questions or comments. I know that most of the police are in limbo if you are working a larger municipal, federal, or provincial agency. We hope this helps and clears some things up.
Respectfully Heather and Mark
