Support our soldiers, past and present this 4th of July!

The Heroes' Challenge is a fundraising event to raise desperately needed funds for local charities which provide critical and much appreciated services to our military and their families.

When called upon, our soldiers are ready to work really hard to keep us free. We thought it was time we worked just as hard to support those who defend us from harm.

We wanted the ultimate, ultra hard, physical challenge so we called in the Marines! Brutal little mountains, 4 HC rated climbs-encompassing 13 miles, 3000 feet in elevation changes, grades -13% to +20%. The Marines approved the 39-clicks (24.2-mile) Bike course (starts 0700)!

and the 1/2 Marathon-PLUS 3-clicks Run (starts 0830) which only has two little, but very steep mountains. The good news is we did NOT ask the Marines for help designing the 5K+ Walk/Run! so it 3.6-miles course (starts 0930) is basically a walk in the country!

So no matter which course you choose to challenge yourself on, The Heroes' Challenge has it. Perhaps the best news is that the SAG Korean War era Troop Carrier will be sweeping the hills so that ALL participants will be Returned To Base by 1100 for a hearty Continental Breakfast.
