ROCK... THE RACE
Get wet and dirty in
the YMCA of Rock River Valley’s 7 th Annual Rock the Race. This
8hour or 4hour adventure race is designed to challenge both novice and experienced racers. Held
through out numerous Winnebago County Forest Preserves, Rock the Race will lead you on a completely unique
adventure .
Teams of 2-4 race in co-ed, or non co-ed divisions, plotting a course utilizing multiple disciplines. A new high school division has been added this year. The open format race includes biking, canoeing, trekking, orienteering skills, ropes section and mystery events.
Each team will receive information at the start of the race to help them decide how to approach the course. The object of the race is to locate "checkpoints" along the course. A score is given each time a team locates a "checkpoint". The team with the highest score, in each division, will win the race. (Teams must return to the finish line within the 8 or 4 hour time limit to be considered ranked.)
