Friends, family members and neighbors can race against each other completing a one mile cross country filled with up to eight fun challenges. Whether you run, jog, walk or watch, it'll be a BONDING EXPERIENCE you will never forget.    Testimonial: What an awesome day my son and I had. My son could not stop talking about it and thanking me for taking him! It has made memories that will last a life time.

     2. RACE DESCRIPTION:   This rain or shine event pits teams of two people against each other completing a string of up to eight eight fun-filled challenges spread across a one-mile cross-country course. Each station will contain a CLUE CARD that instructs each team to complete a task (game, relay, obstacle course, etc.) before proceeding to the next challenge station. Challenge stations include varying levels of difficulty, based on age of participants. The team that reaches the finish line with the fastest overall time wins. How well you work as a team is the most essential ingredient to winning the race! Waves begin every 10 minutes kids teams, then adult teams.

      3. REGISTRATION INFO: Pairs only: adult/kid, kid/kid or adult/adult. Must be 5 years of age or older to participate. Children in Pre-K and Kindergarten must be paired with an adult. Active duty, reserves, retired - military, law enforcement and fire department including spouses receive a 50% discount off team entry fee. Teams can choose a RECREATION PACE (those who prefer to walk or jog at a leisure pace) or a COMPETITIVE PACE (those who prefer to run). Spectators are welcome to tag along for free and take photos for the scrapbook.

  4. AWARDS:   Every team that crosses the finish line gets an award to recognize their accomplishment.  Medals are presented to the winners of each grade division (determined by grade of youngest team member): Grades K-4, Grades 5-12, and Adult Teams divisions.   The top 25 teams, from each city race, qualify for the National Championship Race and $2,000 prize!
