 _ The 2018 Big Chill Adventure Race:

The “Chill” is the race that started it all. This year we are heading to Fort Parker State Park near Mexia, TX and boy are we stoked!  This area of Texas is rich with history and we are excited to take advantage!  We’ll serve up all new stuff as well as some old favorites. Expect a tough as nails race, awesome shwagg, cool special tests and more. Back to the ‘Chill’ this year is Too Cool’s famous “skip point”. Teams that bring in 5 canned goods per racer are permitted to skip a checkpoint during the race. Donations directly benefit the local community. The race will happen rain, snow, or shine, so be prepared for any type of weather. Race headquarters will be based at the group picnic area on Fort Parker Lake.  Choose the 2-4 hr sport sprint or 4-8 hr adventure sprint.
