Mud, Sweat & Cheers - The Bordoni 5K Extreme Fitness Challenge will support the construction of the Chris Bordoni Fitness Trailhead along the Cayuga Waterfront Trail in Cass Park. The Bordoni Fitness Challenge, on Saturday, May 11, is a great team event for families, friends and colleagues. It will push you and your teammates. Five person teams will be challenged by strength, cardio and obstacle activities at 5 stations along the trail starting at Island Health and Fitness and finishing at the future site of the Bordoni Fitness Trailhead along Park Road at the south end of the Cass Park Trail.
The entry fee for Military/CEO/Firefighter personnel is $30 per person or $150 per Military/CEO/Firefighter team and $40 per person for general registration or $200 per team. Four 5-person teams will be released every 20 minutes starting at 9:00 am and ending at 12:20 pm. The course will take approximately 2 hours to complete and there will be a reception at Island Health for participants as their heats are completed. This is a friendly competition and all team members must finish together to get their finish time. No one will be left behind.
All proceeds from Mud, Sweat & Cheers will support the design and construction of the Chris Bordoni Fitness Trailhead, an outdoor fitness trailhead to be located on the Cayuga Waterfront Trail in Cass Park. The trailhead is named in honor of U.S. Marine Corporal Christopher Bordoni, who lost his life while serving in Afghanistan in 2012. Construction is planned for the summer of 2013.
