The second running of the Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race in Burnaby has been moved to June 2.
Originally scheduled for May 26, the race was moved because of permitting challenges and post-race venue availability.
Race director Bryan Tasaka said he hopes the date change will work for those already intending to race, while enticing the fence-sitters with the greater chance of ideal racing weather.
"This being our second year, we're more familiar with the terrain and the amenities in the area," Tasaka said in a press release. "We've scoped out new trails, and we're in the process of securing an intimate post-race party venue. Our Burnaby course director, Gary Robbins, is working on another challenging race course, filled with sweet single track riding, scenic paddling and challenging navigation."
Last year's race at Burnaby Mountain took place in late May.
The MOMAR is an off-road multi-sport sprint adventure race that requires teams to mountain bike, kayak, trail run, trek and orienteer through a series of checkpoints over a 30- or 50-km course.
The MOMAR series has staged 33 races in British Columbia during the past 12 race seasons.
