There has been a lot of talk about doing an adventure obstacle course race again this year. Here are a couple of links. I know some of the crew have already registered. Deadlines are fast approaching for both of these races.  If there is enough interest we could look at renting a bus again like last year.

The Mud Hero takes place in the Kananaskis Country and there is a BBQ after the race. The Calgary Spartan will be in a different location from last year and promises to be more of challenge.

If there are any other race that look interesting let me know and I can post the links.
