Helly Hansen will also be sponsoring a team competing in this year’s race. Team Helly Hansen / MOMAR based out of British Columbia, who finished well at both Primal Quest last year and the Baja Travesia recently, will all be wearing the latest Helly Hansen performance wear.

'Extreme' has a long standing tradition of providing exceptional race courses over incredible terrain,” said Team Helly Hansen / MOMAR captain Gary Robbins. “The selection of Prince Rupert as this years host city has once again shown Frontier’s ability to find remote and challenging, yet accessible terrain to host a truly stellar event. We are all counting down the days until our biggest event of the year!"

About Raid the North Extreme
Raid the North Extreme is the most authentic wilderness expedition race you could choose in North America in 2007: Six days, 500kms of adventure for coed teams of four on a course designed by Lawrence Foster (Team Holofibre), designer of the 2004 AR World Champs course in Newfoundland.
Teams will be paddling vast inlets that puncture the majestic Coast Mountains, under a summer solstice full moon, and trekking up thousands of metres of elevation, above the clouds, to snow covered ridges that roll on for miles. They’ll experience pounding waterfalls crashing into the valleys below, draining glacial meltwater to the Skeena River, where 24 ft tidal changes swell in and out of the Pacific. And finally mountain biking through ancient first nations trails, or long-abandonded mining and forestry roads, through to forgotten valleys and passes.
About Frontier Adventure Racing Inc.Adventure racing is a wilderness sport that has exploded in popularity across North America. Frontier Adventure Racing Inc. is leading that growth in Canada with its incredibly popular Raid the North series. Marking its tenth year of operation in 2007, Frontier Adventure Racing has established an international reputation for solid logistics and challenging racecourses. These non-stop races, ranging in length from 8-hours to six-days, require coed teams of four to trek, mountain bike, paddle and negotiate fixed ropes, while navigating the unmarked racecourse through the wilderness. The exact course is kept secret until the night before the race and, even then, teams are only given topographical maps and grid coordinates for the checkpoints they must reach in order. Likened to an expedition with a stopwatch, adventure racing requires teamwork, perseverance and strong navigation and wilderness survival skills.
