THE 2022 ZOOTOWN CHALLENGE EXPERIENCE
The inaugural ZooTown Challenge race course encompassed The Paddleheads Baseball Stadium, Silver Park and the scenic Riverfront Trail. Four miles of running, 20 obstacles, over 200 participants, and 70 volunteers made this a successful challenge to athletes of all ages and abilities.
Plus, we raised $3,500 for Special Olympics Montana and had several of their athletes complete the All-Abilities course. We're proud to have hosted a 16-Week training class at VRTX Fitness to prepare these athletes, and we look forward to supporting Special Olympics again in 2023.
