The Atmosphere Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) returned to Cumberland, BC on September 26, 2015, for its 16th season. Cumberland’s Brad Crowe was the overall winner for the 50km Enduro Course with a time of 4:51:21 The first solo female to cross the finish line was Aimee Dunn of North Vancouver at 5:59:55. Genevieve Burdette of Cumberland and Sarah Seads of Courtenay teamed up this year, taking the

top spot in the team of two female category, with a time of 5:25:28. Matt Hewitt of Vernon and Tim Musselman Bell of Penticton placed first in the team of two male category, crossing the finish line at 4:51:53. The overall winners in the team of four category were Powell River’s Chris Bratseth, Graham Cocksedge and Lucien Ervington, along with Nygil Goggins of Cumberland (5:33:19). The first racers to cross the finish line for the 30km Sport Course

were Jennifer and Joel Anthony of Victoria, with a time of 3:54:08. Over 525 racers participated in the MOMAR, heading to Comox Valley from Ontario, Whitehorse, Oregon, Washington State, Saskatchewan and all over BC and Alberta. Sunny skies welcomed all the racers and volunteers to Cumblerland on race day. “Aside from a morning shower, race conditions were perfect,” says Race Director Bryan Tasaka. “The amazing

volunteers and community support made this great day happen, but we sure were happy to have mother nature was on our side as well.” The MOMAR partnered up with the Cumberland Community Forest Society (CCFS), an organization dedicated to preserving 150 acres of mature forest bordering the Village of Cumberland, from Comox Lake to The Trent River. Over $3000 was raised by and for the CCFS during the

MOMAR weekend. The MOMAR is an off-road multisport sprint adventure race that requires participants to navigate their way to a series of checkpoints, in hopes of crossing the finish line within the 8 hour limit. The disciplines include mountain biking, paddling, and trail running over scenic and rugged west coast terrain. The MOMAR series has staged 37 races in British Columbia, Canada over 16 race seasons.
