Travel (hiking) to the different challenge locations (all within Kenna Park) will not be timed - the hiking won't be a race.  We will hik e at a normal pace.  Hike portions will range from easy to "intermediate- ish"\, and challenges are more hilarious than physically hard!  Expect a total hiking distance of approx 5-6 km.\n\n\n\nThe Pit Stop will end up ba ck at the starting point\, where we will have Team Photos on the KHC EGGZM AZING RACE FINISH MAT.  The team who gathers the most points from the pop -up bonus rounds\, and completes their challenges in the shortest time\, w ill see their name placed on the highly coveted 2023 KHC GOLDEN EGG TROPHY and win bragging rights for the next 12 months.  (Seriously....we really have a trophy and it really has a golden egg on it.)\n\nLast year's winni ng team\, "The Hippie Chicks" (Katherine Roberts &\; Jennifer Barbe) ar e returning to defend their title this year\, as are several more of last year's competitive Eggsmazing Racers!  Now if we could just get Sam Chow to enter....!! :lol:\n\n\n\nRegistration is thru the hike leader.  Contac t information below. \n\nVOLUNTEER RACE HOSTS &\; JUDGES:\n\nLisa Bout ry\n\n\nMaureen Thorkelson\n\n\nPam Paradis\n\n\nTim Paradis\n\n\nREGISTRA TION OPENS Tues\, Feb 28\, at 7:00AM.  The Hike Leader will be emailing w ith those who register to confirm teams\, fees\, etc.  See requirements b elow BEFORE you sign up\, please.\n\nTo register\, you must first have a t eam of 2 people assembled and both people must email me to confirm their p articipation before you will be considered registered.  In your email\, p lease confirm you understand this is an event requiring payment of a 15$ f ee per person (details below)\, tell me what Team Name you wish to have on your RACE ID Badges and who you are intending to team up with.  After I receive that information\, I will wait for your team-mate to email me.  T eams are not considered successfully registered until both racers have con nected with me.  Spaces are very limited\, so please organize your team f irst asap. :-)\n\nRegistration Fee:  15$ per person - 100% of all registr ation fees go towards the purchase of Race Materials\, Prizes\, Trophies\, and High Quality Easter Chocolate for participants (Purdys and Lindt etc) .
