  CAP Hawk Mountain  
 
Breathtaking views, challenging terrain, and captivating wilderness, set the scene for this 12 hour race of challenging fun and adventure. Join us in honoring and commemorating a dear friend, fellow adventure racer, and fellow search and rescue instructor, who died while training a few years ago.
 
Krista spent many years training and instructing at the Civil Air Patrol’s Search and Rescue School that is based at Hawk Mountain, PA. Proceeds from the race will go to benefit that volunteer school. Teams of 2 to 3 racers will face the seemingly unending challenges of Hawk Mountain including: rugged trekking and orienteering, mountain biking, fixed ropes, team challenges, and canoeing.
 
Racing for this great cause is both rewarding for participants, volunteers, spectators, and sponsors.
 
 
Grab some friends and come on out for a great, fun challenge!
