ADVENTURE IMMERSION LAB
Who We Are
Adventure Immersion Lab Ltd is a Kelowna-based Adventure company. Our C.E.O. , Nathalie Long, is an accomplished Adventure Racer and Ultra Runner.
Nathalie started Adventure Racing in 2009 and has participated in many races, from a few hours long to 9.5 days non stop. She has competed in more than 20 Expedition Races to date (3 days and over) finishing ranked in Full Course in 19 of them. Nathalie is passionate about the sport and created, race designed and race directed the first 3 Expedition Canada Races in the Okanagan. Adventure Racing led Nathalie into ultra running in 2017 and she has since competed and placed in a few 120 and 160km races in France and the U.S. She finished in the first third of the field in UTMB in 2018, 2021 and 2022.
Since moving to the Okanagan in 2017, Nathalie has been growing the adventure racing community in the area. In her spare time and for her training, she has found herself spending a lot of time in the Rockies, exploring the mountains in Banff National park, Yoho National Park, the Kananaskis area, and the Kootenays National Park. She has hiked and run a wide variety of trails, each more amazing than the last.
She'd been thinking of creating her own company for years and early in 2023 she decided to take the leap, finishing her certifications and starting Adventure Immersion Lab.
Adventure Immersion Lab offers a range of services, from tailored hiking and trail running guided retreats (coed and women only) to adventure racing and ultra-running Coaching.
We are also involved in different events as race course designers, race directors and wea also organize our own races and events.
