XTreme Team Members Wanted!
You must be a resident of Queen's Harbour Yacht and Country Club.


The intent of the Queen's Harbour Adventure Race Club is to compile a team of Adventure Racers that will represent Queen's Harbour Yacht and Country Club in various races throughout the year.

After we form our team we will train together weekly and participate in what we call The Ultimate Mind - Body Adventure as we will be required to exhibit persistent astute mental awareness as well as extended strenuous physical endurance in a multitude of activities for periods of time often extending 24 hours.
