The course tape is down, the woods have been cleaned of debris, and the 2018 Challenger Feedback Survey is ready. Quick summary in 2017 we had 283 Pre-Reg with 83 Day of Reg for a total of 366. 2018 saw a 15% growth rate with 312 Pre-Regs and 109 Day of Regs for a grand total of 421 racers. BTW the 109 day of Registrations set a new M.A.S.S record. We are also happy to note that we saw a 3.5% up tick in the under 25 groups. NICA's impact will continue to grow our sport.
Big thanks to Jeremiah Bishop for coming out to race and for the Bike's -n-Brews pre-race party. It was a great time pre-riding with him, but I will note that even on a pre ride he is HIGHLY competitive. I now know how fast a Pro really is...and it's scary fast! (Fun note: I showed him a fun section where you can ride through a tree. We both laughed at how much fun it was to ride.)
Big thanks to our Assistant Race Director Gary Kline, Technial Director Adam Dietrich, and to the 50 + volunteers who helped make this race happen. Especially Karen Steur who took a week off from work just to help get things all set for the race. THANK YOU!
