We are excited to bring Too Cool back to Lake Georgetown with the Mighty San Gabriel adventure race. Teams will paddle, bike and run all while seeking out checkpoints. We are changing things up a bit this year...the 12 hour racers will be shuttled to the start of the race. Choose the beginner sprint course or the advanced 12 hour course. Both courses will have special tests, strategy, awesome shwagg and of course a 'Too Cool' time! We set the bar high...now it's up to you to reach it!
The Mighty San Gabriel Sprint Race: All the fun of our longer race except designed for the beginner, teams of 2 will run, bike, paddle, facing team challenges and obstacles along the way. Too Cool will be providing the boats (real hard sided canoes), racers just need to have a bike and a camelbak! Be prepared for approximately 1-3 miles of paddling, 8-10 miles of biking, and 3-5 miles of trekking plus some surprises. Estimated winning time is 2 hours. Stay for the after party where we tap the keg, break open the refreshments and start the tunes. We will cap this race at 75-2 person teams. Please register early. |
