Event date: August 26th, 2012.
Location: at the Kelso Quarry in Milton, Ontario, Canada (part of the Kelso Conservation Area).
Address: 5437 Steeles Ave, Milton Ontario
The Quarry entrance is located approximately 500m East of the Summit entrance to the Kelso Trails
This is a location that is sure to provide a spectacular course- whether you are a seasoned athlete or first-timer to the world of multi-sport races. The swim will take place in the spring-fed, baby blue waters of the Kelso Quarry. The bike portion of this race will take place within Kelso Conservation Area- home to some of the area’s best mountain bike trails, while the run will follow along various escarpment trails!
This is a fast and flowing course, which constantly changes from double to single track and back again. There are lots of opportunities for passing, and racers are treated to several vista views on the run course.

Washrooms and Changing Facilities:
Mine over matter was designed to take place in a wilderness type setting. Our main location is situated in what used to be the Kelso Quarry. Basically there are no facilities there but the water filled quarry and large storage hut. We will be bringing in port-o-lets for the washrooms, but there will be no change rooms or showers available on site.
