Frontier is now called Frontier Adventure Sports and Training, and they have been using a new website in their marketing materials, although the old one still works for now. New site is: http://www.fastadventures.com
There was a 5-8 hr race near Huntsville on May 3, and there will be a 10-14 hr race on Sept. 27 at Esprit Rafting near Ottawa.

A RTN 36-hr race had been announced for the Sault Ste. Marie area in late August, but since there is no information on the website, it is probably not happening.
Last I heard, RTN Extreme was going to take place in 2009, using the original race course near Prince Rupert that Lawrence Foster had designed for the 2007 race. (It couldn't be used because of unusual flooding and avalanche dangers that spring.)
