The 2005 edition of
Simon River Sports, lead by captain Benoît Létourneau, Alain Beaudry, Liza Pye and Benoît Tremblay has
confirmed it's status as the most visible and successful
adventure racing team in Canada by winning the Raid the
North 2005 Canadian Championships race. The team took
the lead shortly into the first leg and consistently
increased it with razor sharp navigation and a
relentless pace. While being the only team to take the
advanced section of the magnificent racecourse (thanks to
Bob Miller) SRS nonetheless finished the race ahead of all
other teams, in 54 hours.

event.

overcame early race setback to come from behind and take the 1st place overall,
passing the leading all-male teams on the last checkpoint
with a daring route choice through the worst swamps Ontario can offer, in 35 degree temperatures.
May
2005 - Heartbreaking 3rd place at the Maine Appalachian Extreme
After a difficult first race start, our team has managed to
brilliantly come from behind on the trek, making it in 9
hours less than any other team (!!) and increasing it's lead
afterwards only to be stopped for more than 24 hours at the
second to last checkpoint, unable to guess the intriguing
"secret" passage. The most disappointing and
heartbreaking race ever. Still a decent 3rd place that many
teams would envy.
