Prizes are given to top three participants who raise the most money and the top three from each race category who cross the finish line first. Everyone who attempts the challenge is a winner and will receive an event t-shirt.
WOW That sounds tough! Do I have any other options?
YES! The ECO Mini Challenge
This course is designed for those who desire adventure without.
The course consists of a one mile run/walk through the woods, an obstacle course and a one mile bike on pavement or paths. If you do not have a bike, dont worry you can walk/run the last mile.
This is fun for the whole family.
Each person must raise a minimum of $30 per person to participate. Prizes are given to top three participants who raise the most money and the top three who cross the finish line first. Everyone who attempts the mini challenge is a winner and will receive an event t-shirt.
