Breaking
News.....After over a year of planning, discussions, and permitting, I
am excited to announce that the fixed ropes will be EPIC! A 100'
high zip line off a cliff and a 100' high ascent back up! Handheld
ascenders will be provided to the teams who do not have their own.
If you have your own, you may use them. I apologize for the late
up-date. If you only knew what I have gone through to bring the
absolute best fixed ropes in adventure racing to the Thunder Rolls!
The 8th annual "Thunder Rolls", 12 and 24 hour
adventure race courses will continue to follow the trails, waterways,
and migration routes of the Sauk and Fox Indians of the early 1800's.
This years course will be in the beautiful and historic Rock River
Valley of northern Illinois. The area, known for its forests, deep
valleys and scenic bluffs, was
the home of Potawatomi and Winnebago Indian tribes. The nearby
Stillman Valley in 1832 was the site of the first of the Black Hawk Wars
lead by Chief Black Hawk. It is a land of water, white pines,
wildlife, birds, and many challenges.
The expedition style, unsupported race will
involve paddling, trail running/trekking, mountain biking, navigation,
coasteering, pack rafting and rope work.
The 50 or 100 mile course is located in state
forests, state parks, Historic sites, and private lands.
Valuable prizes will be presented to the winners
in the following divisions: 12 and 24 Hour, 2 and 3 person coed, 2
and 3 person same gender, and 2 and 3 person coed masters.
Certificates will be presented to the second and third place teams in
each of these divisions also.
The race start times are 12:00 a.m. for the 24
hour race and 06:00 a.m. for the 12 hour race on Saturday, August 28,
2010.
