Too Cool brings our annual No Sweat Adventure Race back to Lake Travis again this year to test the most seasoned adventure racers.  This year we will be based out of the Candlelight Ranch.  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 the second Too Cool race that will be part of the nationally acclaimed Checkpoint Tracker Series

http://www.checkpointtracker.com:80/ .  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 2009. Also, look for Too Cool's patent pending "skip point". Get ready, get set, get hydrated and join us for the fun!
