Complete results of the inaugural VoyageurQuest Stage Race are listed below.
We had great weather for this first stage race across the Superior Hiking Trail in northern Minnesota. Everyone had a great time and we’re already looking forward to next years race!
Here’s a little bit more about the race from our website:
VoyageurQuest is a 4 day trail stage race (plus prologue) on the rugged Superior Hiking Trail in Northeastern Minnesota covering 101 miles. The 2010 race will cover some of the most remote and rugged trail at the Northern end of the Superior Trail where you’re more likely to encounter a moose or a wolf than another human being.
About Quest Stage Races:
Quest Stage Races exemplify the personal quest each of us takes to achieve our goals. Quest stage races are designed to challenge you – to define the meaning of quest.
A quest is defined as the act of seeking something great, an expedition or a search for something rare. During a Quest stage race you=92ll be seeking and finding rare insights into who you are and the beauty of the natural world around you. You=92ll find what it takes to dig down deep for those hidden reserves of strength, the beauty and grace of those runners with which you share the path, and the determination to continue on your own quest. You’ll find the majesty of a blue lake so grand that you can=92t see to the other side and the visions of a people who found the land you stride on sacred.
In a Quest stage race it will be up to you to find your way. You will need to determine how much food to carry, what to eat and when. You=92ll follow an established path, but it will be up to you not to stray. In a Quest Series stage race you=92ll be challenged and you=92ll need to use your wits and your experience to find what you=92re seeking. A Quest Series stage race will offer more in the form of challenge and reward than you may be accustomed to.
Join us on a Quest stage-race and find yourself.
