Congratulations Mike!

Not the time or place I wanted but a year ago I didn’t even know that making it to worlds was a possibility. I felt stronger and faster than ever heading into the race. Stuck to the plan but unfortunately the sleds were humbling and I got a LOT of penalties! All great learning and I am already looking forward to next season! @mike.fecik what can I say? A year ago today we started on this journey. Your “put your head down and get through it” approach and insanely intelligent training plan got me not only in the best shape of my life at 45 but injury free!! I can’t thank you enough!

What is Hyrox?

Hyrox is an indoor fitness competition, which originally started in Germany in 2017 by Christian Toetzke, entrepreneur and former triathlete, and Moritz Furste, two-time German Olympic gold medal field hockey player. It’s now a worldwide competition with events held in various countries including France, Ireland, and the U.K. This fall and next spring, you’ll also find events in the U.S. in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C.

Unlike CrossFit, also a fitness competition, every race is outlined exactly the same. Over the course of a couple of hours (depending on how quickly you finish), every participant has to run 1K and then complete one of eight functional exercises, in the order listed below, before running to the next station. Here’s what the full day looks like:

Run 1K
Ski Erg 1000 m
Run 1K
Sled Push 50 m
Run 1K
Sled Pull 50 m
Run 1K
Burpee Broad Jumps 80 m
Run 1K
Rowing 1000 m
Run 1K
Farmer’s Carry 200 m
Run 1K
Sandbag Lunges 100 m
Run 1K
Wall balls 75 to 100
Because anyone can participate in a Hyrox competition, you’ll find several divisions and no course time limits. You can expect to finish the course in three hours or less, according to the Hyrox website, though last year’s average finish time was around 1.5 hours. You also have the option to compete as a group of two or four. Those who perform well and finish fast also have the chance to compete in world championships.

Join Race Director Bob Miller as he takes you along as he tests the 2025 Wilderness Traverse/ARWS North American Championship course. The race happens in the Sudbury region on July 26-27, 2025.

Be a part of Canada's Premier Adventure Race as Wilderness Traverse hosts the Adventure Racing World Series North America Championship.

Before

I've been curious about this for years...I guess today is the day to find out.
"The La Cloche Silhouette Trail in Killarney Provincial Park has an elevation gain of approximately 7,732 feet (2,357 meters). While some sources mention an elevation gain of 8,000 feet, the more precise figure is 7,732 feet."
It's like climbing and descending the CN tower almost 7 times.

21 HOURS 35 MINUTES. NEVER AGAIN. Just another check mark in my personal growth curve.

The La Cloche Silhouette Trail is a 78-kilometre backpacking loop across the white quartzite peaks of the La Cloche mountain range. The trail is situated in Killarney Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. The trail is named for Group of Seven painter Franklin Carmichael's painting "La Cloche Silhouette.

    Wednesdays - meet at Apex Warrior parking lot departing at 1800h. Typically runs are 1 hour or 10km.
                    Saturdays - meet at Bell Park's Elizabeth St parking lot departing at 0800h. Typically runs are longer at 1.5 hours or 15km minimum.

Generally the pace floats between 5 and 7 minutes per km. Anticipate a mixture of roads and trail running on the routes.
Inclement weather is usually just a challenge. Group has only been cancelled for local races or xmas. Cancellations or changes in meeting locations will be posted.

Locations are show in the attached photos/maps.
