| WHEN, WHERE, & WHY PROCEEDS |
Will be
held on Saturday September 20th, 2008. As always, the race
site will be near beautiful Prescott, Arizona. This is a fund raiser for Venturing Crew 1 to enable them to continue to test themselves with outstanding high adventure activities. In 2007 the Crew traveled to Yosemite National Park and summitted Half Dome. This event has become so successful that after the 2007 event, Crew 1 donated $2000 to the Prescott Kiwanis Foundation Endowment Fund so that the kids of Prescott would benefit in perpetuity. They also donated $300 to Camp Rainbow (a children's cancer camp). We hope to make a tradition of contributing to the Kiwanis Club of Prescott, as they are a huge force in getting things done for the children in the Prescott area.

RACE HISTORY
|
This race is hosted by BSA
Venturing Crew 1. It was originally designed as a way to
incorporate the many activities that Crew 1 takes part in into a one
day race for the Crew members. Our first event covered a
total of
12 miles and we had six 2-person teams. Over the years, we
have
grown into an all-grown-up Adventure Race! Now open to the public, it has evolved into one of Arizona's most popular events. Teams from as far away as Florida have come to compete in the GAR. In 2008, the race will be open to the public, AND also have a division in which Venturing aged teens may participate for a discounted entry fee. The race is named in posthumous honor of a former BSA Troop 1 Eagle Scout named Shane Gilmore. Shane was killed in a tragic car accident involving a drunk driver.We chose to name the race after him because he was very active in the high adventure aspects of scouting, and would have loved the sport of Adventure Racing. |
