TRAIN. CANOE. TREK. SURVIVE.
Our training objective is to ensure everyone is at the same level of preparation so we can all enjoy it together safely. Every one on our team has been on the same path you are undertaking and experienced the Challenge themselves. They will guide you on your journey. On the Challenge itself, our team will do everything we can to help get you over the finish line. In return our only ask is 100% commitment. If you can canoe already you only have to attend the team practice weekends. Please click here for more details. What training will I get?
