The Race of Hope-- June 20, 2009-- 8 hours of trekking, paddling, mountain biking, camping, eating and navigation at Lake Hope State Park and Zaleski State Forest near Zaleski, OH. Back to Zaleski again for an eight hour adventure race of Hope. Hope you make it back from the beaver dam this year. Yes, more challenging, bigger beavers, bigger course, but again, you only get eight hours to complete the course without penalties. You will get to trek, paddle, mountain bike and plenty of navigation through this awesome park/forest. We will end with with a cookout, awards and prizes. *A portion of proceeds will be donated to The Friends of Lake Hope and The American Cancer Society in honor of our good friend and adventure racer Kim Smith. Lake Hope was her favorite place to ride and race.
