RockstAR was co-founded in 2008 by Storm Racing and Hark Events. It is now solely produced by Storm Racing, as part of the Storm Multi-Sport Adventure Series.
With over 50 proprietary events to his credit, Race Director Sean Roper has been obsessed with the sport of adventure racing since he first volunteered at a race back in 1998. After the highly successful launch of his first event Storm the North Shore in North Vancouver, Sean brought Storm Racing back with him to Ontario and built it into Canada's largest adventure race series. He is a career event professional, with over 15 years of experience behind the scenes at adventure racing, running, cycling and fundraising events. A three-time competitor in the Adventure Racing World Championships, Sean is an accomplished adventure racer and ultra-runner himself. You can usually find him at various events throughout the province, or across the country and beyond. |
Heather supports the Storm Racing series as Course and Volunteer Manager. When she’s not lamenting that she never gets to compete at Storm events, you’ll find her at any given race - driving along the course; positioning our amazing volunteers; and ensuring that all teams stay on-course and finish safely. If you've ever been randomly cheered on as you make your way along the racecourse, it's a safe bet that it's Heather's always-encouraging voice you're hearing! A regular at various trail running, mountain biking, adventure racing and orienteering events, Heather can be found pretty much anywhere adventure is served. |

No RockstAR event would be possible without the support of a fantastic group of individuals who make the race experience all that it is through their tireless dedication and unwavering enthusiasm. No amount of late hours, driving rain, relentless bugs, formidable truckloads, miserable cold or extreme heat ever presents too great a challenge for this incredible crew of adventure-lovers. We are forever indebted to these amazing people for all they do behind the scenes at RockstAR and our other Storm Racing events.
