Big Woolly Adventure Race 2008

Race Date: Sunday, June 8, 2008

The Big Woolly Adventure Race is back for its 6th year. The Big Woolly will take place in and around Crystal Lake and McHenry County on Sunday, June 8, 2008. This year the Crystal Lake Park District has opened two new exciting classes. In addition to the standard co-ed team of three the Big Woolly will now have a Men's team of three which allows any three male athletes to compete, as well as a Women's team of three. Both of the new categories will be racing for cash prizes according to the number of teams in their division, as well as medals for 1st-3rd place in each division. A maximum of 50 teams of three will race while biking, running, and canoeing. Each team will be required to navigate the course and reach several designated checkpoints. Racers will be given maps and race booklets on race day that explain the rules and the details of the racecourse. In addition, teams will be required to complete a series of challenges along the course that will test their team and individual skills. The required equipment list is available online at www.crystallakeparks.org. This race is a sprint course and can be completed in 5 - 10 hours. An Italian beef Dinner and technical race t-shirts are included in the race fee. For more information, please contact Joe Davison at (815) 459-0680 ext. 228 or email at jdavison@crystallakeparks.org
