Registration open for 9/11 challenge

Teams of four individuals may now register for the 2016 9/11 Memorial Mt. Grant Challenge. The team concept was established for participants to train together and encourage each other during the weeks prior to the event.
Individuals also receive a $25 discount per entry when they register as part of a team.

Teams are not required to hike together during the event and they may progress at their individual pace. Those who have experienced the challenge, however, recognize that it is gratifying to walk the distance with similarly paced participants. The camaraderie of a team can make it possible for all members to finish.

To register visit the website 911mt.grantchallenge.org, the 911 Challenge Facebook page or Active.com.
