Too Cool brings our annual No Sweat Adventure Race back to Parrie Haynes Ranch this year to test the most seasoned adventure racers( http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/learning/phr/ )
No Sweat has traditionally been a grueling, highly competitive race and teams will have the choice between a 12 hr or 24 hr course.  We are excited to have the 24 hr course part of the nationally acclaimed Checkpoint Tracker Series http://www.checkpointtracker.com:80/ where teams from all over the country are competing for 30,000 dollars in cash and prizes!   Beautiful Texas country, sweet single track, paddling and fun ropes make this a must do for 2008. Also, look for Too Cool's patent pending "skip point". Get ready, get set, get hydrated and join us for the fun!

Please watch forum for posting of more information!
