The Moose Ultra: Marathon of Ontario Summer Edition

Moose Truth

90% of the MOOSE course passes through bear country. The large tracts of undisturbed bush are ideal black bear habitat. It is however, unlikely that you will encounter a bear while on the trail. Bears have excellent hearing and will usually vanish long before you become aware of them.

The Moose Ultra UK Social

Whilst the London Tube Strike did end up reducing the turn out at the UK Social to quiet drink, it was great to see some old friends and find out what everyone has been doing. We chatted about some of our new projects and the response was good so watch this space for news of more events as well as The Moose Ultra 2010.

2009 Event Postponed

It is with deep regret that we have decision to postpone the 2009 Moose Ultra until next year. It has been a really hard decision to make, especially as interest in the event has been good, however at this point we do not have enough competitors entered with deposits paid to cover the event costs.

At no point do we want to reduce the quality and safety of the event, as we pride ourselves on staging one of the best multi-day events in the world. Making the decision now also allows enter runners to adjust their plans for the remainder of the year.

We are very disappointed that we have had to make this decision, and are sorry for any inconvenience, however we feel it is the right thing to do in order to provide the best experience possible when you take part in the event.

Entries for The Moose Ultra 2010, along with a new payment structure, will be will be open shortly.

Chance to Save $200 Extended

We have exteneded the opportunity to save $200 by another week, after finding a bug in Solo form was causing a few problems. The discount is applied to the deposit for both the Solo and Team categories until May 8th, 2009. Even more reason for you to get your entry in and make sure you have a place in the Canadian Running Adventure!

ECG Requirements Changed

Up until now competitors have always needed an ECG prior to taking part in The Moose Ultra and our previous events. As of today we have decided to remove this requirement for the The Moose Ultra 2009. The reason for this change is beacause all Moose competitors need to have previous ultra experience to talk part, and this means they have a proven level of fitness and knowledge of the undertaking they have signed up for. Competitors will still need to submit a completed medical form on Registration Day, and be interviewed by the race doctor prior to starting the event.
