Welcome to The North Face Rundle’s RevengeAre you ready to meet EEOR?

Wondering if The North Face Rundle’s Revenge is for you?

 
Do you lay awake at night dreaming of world-class single-track? Do you live to run or bike technical trails that traverse rocky outcroppings and flowing streams—trails that barrel under wooded canopies only to break through to cobalt Rocky Mountain skies? And do you believe that fun with friends and a little pain are essentials for athletic pleasure?

 

If you answered yes to those questions, then this is the event for you! The North Face Rundle’s Revenge has all those things and more!

spacer The North Face Rundle’s Revenge is a fun, two-day fun-fest that includes mountain biking and trail running. No, it’s not a duathlon. The North Face Rundle’s Revenge is so much more than that! Where duathlons combine the two events into one day, Rundle’s Revenge gives you a full day for each event. The distances are longer and more challenging.

And if you only want to do the mountain biking on Saturday or just the trail running on Sunday, then you can. There are shorter courses and longer courses, and for you competitive masochists that both bike and trail run, you can participate in both long courses (aka: The Full Donkey) for maximum pleasure. Bring you’re A-game to the full donkey and you just might qualify for The Iron Donkey award. Really…who wouldn’t want to be an iron donkey?

There’s even a team relay competition where the bonds of friendship will either be cemented for eternity or strained beyond measure—all in good fun, of course!

By now you’re probably wondering, “What’s with all this ‘donkey’ stuff?

spacer The Canmore Nordic Centre is home to many world-renowned mountain biking events, Rundle’s Revenge included. The Nordic center itself was built on the slopes of Mount Rundle, more specifically a peak named East End of Rundle. Locals just call it EEOR—like Disney’s Eeyore, the endearing donkey from Winnie-the-Pooh, known for his persistent but loveable pessimism.

Since the names are the same, Rundle’s Revenge adopted a donkey as its mascot. But our EEOR is an ornery donkey. He’s a competitor who likes to kick-ass and take names! EEOR isn’t afraid to pound the trails all day, and then come back for more.

If you see ol’ EEOR, watch out! He’s a stubborn ass with an evil streak and sick sense of humor. You’re likely to find him out with the other masochists, doing whatever it takes to win that Iron Donkey award!
