Suburban RUSH Raids the North!

Two Suburban RUSH Teams, Secondwind and Reloaded placed 6th and 3th (Reloaded) in Raid the North Kelowna Adventure Race this past weekend. It was a tough non stop 36 hour race with some teams running out of water during a long trek through recently burnt forests near Kelowna. There were some other beautiful sections through Myra Canyon and along the water. The race also included a thrilling 75 metre free hanging rappel that we descended at 2am. Congratulations on to all racers and their support teams!
