Thanks to all the participants of the Big Mountain Adventure Racing for the Environment (BMARE) event  on Aug 20th! Great workout, lots of trash collected, and an impressive rope ascension by everyone. We are also very thankful to Go-Lite and Sole for their generous sponsorship of BMARE!

We met at the High Drive parking lot for a morning workout – either running or biking at Bear Creek, Section-16, or up High Drive to Captain Jack’s.

 

 

 

Picking up trash along the way… leaving the trails cleaner than before! J

 

Now for the trash contest...
