Hale to Hold 5K 'Adventure' Race This Sunday

Marking the end to what is forecasted to be a hot and humid week, will continue on Sunday, June 24 with a specialzed "adventure race".

“Our course for the obstacle adventure race is set and it is sure to be a challenge," Hale Director Eric Arnold said in a statement Monday. "It is a wonderful way to get out and challenge yourself and raise money for the Hale Camp Scholarship Fund. Entry fee is $20 and the first 100 entrants receive a tee shirt. You may pre-register for this race by visiting the Hale website.”

The race itself begins at 9 a.m. on Sunday, and Hale officials said it should be an ideal opportunity for runners looking for a solid challenge.

"I don't know if that's more of a race, or actually a challenge to oneself," Hale spokesperson Paula McLaughlin told Westwood Patch in April. "It should be really fun. We're supporting helping disadvantaged kids come to camp and it was just a natural match to work with the academy, and they have such a huge emphasis on fitness."
