This year's Bourbon City
Challenge Adventure Race in Bardstown, Ky., Sept. 14,
2008 begins Sunday at 9 a.m. at the Bardstown-Nelson
County Airport on U.S. 62 just a mile west of
Bardstown.
Notes about the race
1. Anyone Training on the lake prior to race day
needs a $10 boat permit. This does not include trail
running or biking on the road. There is no permit
needed on race day.
2. Anyone planning to rent a canoe or kayak, needs to
contact Central Ky. Canoe and Kayak's Mike Hammons at
(502) 345-9220 or (502) 507-9364 to reserve a boat.
We're trying to have numbers coincide with racers to
ensure all people get a canoe or kayak as they
intend. The rental boats are $20.
3. The event goes rain or shine. No exceptions. This
is an adventure race, so we'll not quit for weather.
(as those who entered last year's race know, a little
rain can actually improve conditions and the mud
makes for a great photo op!)
4. Please arrive early to give yourself plenty of
time to station your bikes, boats and teammates at
transition areas. Both Bike and Boat Transition areas
are on Ben Irvin Road on the back side of Sympson
Lake. Attached is a map of the bike and boat course
(The trail has changed since this map was made) The
map details the bike transition area. The boat
transition area is the boat ramp at Sympson lake.
Please position your boat on the shore on the left
side of the concrete boat ramp. The concrete ramp
needs to be clear as much as possible.
5. We have a lot of return racers from last year's
event and that says to me we did a pretty good job
last year! Hopefully this year, racers will be even
more impressed.
