Lead The Way Fund Selected as Local Non-Profit Partner for 2013 North Face® Endurance Challenge Series at Bear Mountain State Park
Hello Friends & Supporters of the Lead The Way Fund!
It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce that the Lead The Way Fund has been selected as a local non-profit partner for the 2013 North Face® Endurance Challenge Series event to be held on May 4-5, 2013 at Bear Mountain State Park in Bear Mountain, New York.
Through the generosity of the race organizers we have been granted discounted slots for the Half-Marathon ($73), Marathon ($81) and Marathon Relay ($158 – consisting of teams of 2 to 4 people).
The Endurance Challenge Series is a two-day running event and festival that features seven trail racing events and is a hardy test for trail runners of any level. The event, which takes place on the western shores of the Hudson River and through the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, is known as a “tough test of off-road endurance.”
RACING REQUIREMENTS:
*Please email info@leadthewayfund.org with interest in joining Team Army Ranger no later than APRIL 1st as slots are limited and will fill quickly. Please indicate if you have ever participated in a similar racing event and the name of the event(s).

*Please be advised that all racers MUST commit to meeting minimum Lead The Way Fund fundraising requirements set at $350 for the Marathon and Half- Marathon and $500 for the Marathon Relay Team.
