www.campeagle.org) that is.  In 2009 our funnest race will be a Checkpoint Tracker race.  Compete against teams from across the country for over $30,000 in prizes.  Set in the beautiful Texas "hill" country, Rock Springs is located approximately 2 hours west of San Antonio. This year by request, Too Cool with Camp Eagle will be offering both an 8-12 hour course and the traditional 14-24 hour course.  With a generous cut off of 24 hours for both courses, teams should have enough time to complete the entire Spread Your Wings adventure race course!!  Always the coolest shwagg, great food, the Too Cool game show and happy hour and Camp Eagle's incredible hospitality...what more could you want?  Check out www.campeagle.com for accommodations, and reserve something soon.  Plan to make a weekend of it!
