Registration Opens For Mokena Ace Race

MOKENA, IL - A date has been set for the 2018 Ace Race, an annual disc golf competition organized by the Mokena Community Park District. Registration has already opened for the event planned for Sunday, Sept. 16 at The Oaks Disc Golf Course located at 10847 La Porte Road in Mokena.

All players in the competition will throw the same model disc – a brand new, never-seen-before Discraft prototype disc that is introduced each year especially for the Ace Race, according to a news release from the Park District.

All participants receive a player package that includes two prototype discs and other goodies. They will play at least 36 holes with one throw per hole, per player. Holes will be between 150 and 225 feet.

The player with the most overall aces wins a valuable prize package. Players of all ages and abilities are welcome.

This year's entry fee is $30 and the player package "guaranteed" to be twice that value.

Pre-registration is required for participation. Register online here before August 30.

Check-in for the event begins at 10 a.m., with the Ace Race kicking off at 11 a.m.
