My goal is to visit SAR volunteers or extreme outdoor enthusiests around the world and get my picture taken along the way
This is a crest from the 2011 Halifax Regional Search & Rescue Eco-Enduarnce Challange (E2C). We were stationed at the North Safety where we had a shelter, campfire, water and an emergency radio in case there was a need. Or check point was almost 14km into the woods...almost 11km from the start/finish line. 148 teams and 370 people participated in the 2011 challange.
The E2C is a hybrid of classical orienteering, ultra-distance running and the navigational training practices of Search and Rescue Emergency Responders. Good physical conditioning is necessary to push one through the tough terrain, but accurate navigation skills are key to finding controls and minimizing the distance traveled. The 24 hour challenge is mentally exhausting as team members must always be aware of their surroundings. Teams of two or more have a fixed time (8 or 24 hours) to visit as many of the 60 checkpoints as possible. The winner of the event is the team that visits the most points within the specified time, or is the fastest to return to the start after visiting all the markers on the course.
