Run, Row, Rock & Roll Adventure Race
Whether you're an occasional runner, bike rider, fitness buff
or serious athlete, the Run, Row, Rock & Roll Adventure Race
in Fairbury is one of 10 NSC
Races you won't want to miss! Fairbury's
race is one of 10 held throughout the year.
Teams of 3 will test their skills and endurance in a variety of
disciplines.
Over 100 participants are expected to run, canoe, bike, climb and navigate
their way through the 32 mile recreation course and the 40 mile competitive course
with the help of volunteers and several hundred  spectators cheering them on.
Besides making their way through the course, contestants also have to perform "activities" at
several "checkpoints" along the way including target shooting, a bicycle
obstacle course, a teamwork drill, and a test of knowledge.
"This event has really drawn the Fairbury community together," said
Craig Bontrager, Race Director and Director of the Bob
and Wauneta Burkley Wellness Center. "It seems like people come out of
the woodwork to help  and participate". People can participate
in teams of three; male, female or co ed. More than 20 local residents
participated in the event last year and contestants came from as
far away as Colorado; Minnesota, Kansas and throughout Nebraska.
