THE ICEBREAKER
SATURDAY JANUARY 15, 2011
MILTON, ONTARIO
EVENT UPDATES!
Once again there is no better way to prepare for the Salomon Dontgetlost.ca Snowshoe Raid than training at The IceBreaker. The Dontgetlost.ca IceBreaker is back for its second year and allows individuals, or teams to practice their race strategy, or to simply practice & learn better map & compass work. Salomon Dontgetlost.ca Snowshoe Raid organizer and elite Canadian adventure racer Bob Miller will be on hand for the duration of the event to provide navigational advice and training, and to review routes after the event. This year's event takes place on the same day as the new Adventure Racing Wrap-Up & Season Kick-Off Party hosted in Milton by our friends at Hark Events Inc. Click here for more information about the party, all are welcome.

| Course & Categories: |
1-hour Score-Orienteering (approx. distance 5-8K depending on route choice & snow conditions). This Score-Orienteering course will consist of a set number of check-points. Each checkpoint will be assigned a point value. The team/individual who collects the highest number of points will be the winner. There will be a time limit of 1-hour. Teams must return to the finish 1-hour after they start, or they will face penalties. If a team returns after the cut-off they will lose 10 points. They will continue to lose 10 points for every minute they arrive past the 1-hour cut-off. Ties will be decided based on the team's time across the finish line.

In an effort to streamline event procedures and reduce the environmental cost of printing excess maps, we are moving to an online registration system. Participants who do not register in advance are welcome to come on race day for a $17 entry fee, but please arrive early, as there will only be 10 extra maps available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Full GHO members are asked to go through the registration form to reserve their map, but there will be no charge because the IceBreaker event is included in their 2011 membership. To become a full GHO member, click here.
This event will use Sport Ident timing. Please include your Sport Ident number when registering. If you need to rent a Sport Ident card, select the checkbox on the entry form and you will be charged a $2 rental fee.
