The Cure Kids Adventure Race is set in one of the most beautiful parts of one of our most picturesque regional parks. We’re sure you’ll agree an ugly cellphone tower wouldn’t really fit in with the scenery however this also means that coverage for the event is rather intermittent and unreliable. We will do our best on Race Day to bring you regular updates on the website, including our livepage, where you can view even more photos. We promise to have a full report of the race up by the end of the day or early Saturday morning!
