Wednesday 12th September 2018
SQUAMISH, British Columbia – (September 12, 2018)
Primal Quest Pure was a late-night finish at the Executive Suites Hotel in Squamish, British Columbia, with our winning team, Columbia Vidaraid – Godzone, crossing the finish-line at nearly Midnight on September 11th.
On what has become a traditional rainy finish, teams crossed the threshold of a dripping wet Primal Quest arch, each of the 4 racers (now 2-Time Primal Quest winner Sarah Fairmaid, with Nick Gracie, Jon Ander Arambalza & Urtzi Iglesias) finished with a final rush of excitement, cold Backcountry Brewing IPA and new Primal Quest championship title.

1st Place
Team Columbia Vidaraid – Godzone – #1
Total Time – 5 days, 7 hours
2nd Place
Team Bones Adventure Racing – #2
Total Time – 5 days, 9 hours, 45 minutes
3rd Place
Team Quest Racing – #5
Total Time – 5 days, 12 hours, 45 minutes
