There were 36 teams/ 95 racers participating. This group of race starters takes the total number of Bushwhack Adventures event starters over the 1,000 mark!<br />
<br />
The day started with a little pre-race rain, then remained mostly cloudy until the race ended. The sun came out to help dry off the racers who chose to take a dip in the lake as the results were processed. Just as we started the awards ceremony, a huge dark cloud appeared on the horizon. It was quite ominous and headed our way across the lake. In a repeat of the Gleneagles awards, the rain arrived just as the last awards were given out, scattering the crowd.<br />
<br />
Division winners were:<br />
2 Coed - redwinefreaks<br />
3 Coed - GoBushwhack.com<br />
2 Female - All Butter<br />
