100th Meridian Challenge - Race Results
Saturday October 07, 2006 ::: Cozad, Nebraska
Camp Comeca south of Cozad NE in the Canyons along Midway lake  

 

3rd Annual
100th Meridian Challenge
Cozad Community Physical Therapy
Adventure Race

 

This year we spilt the teams up to start with using a leap frog style where they traded from bike to run at the start. Each team member was responsible for finding a few checkpoints on there own with different maps of different areas. When they met up we placed the maps over each other, using the top map as a template to punch holes in the second map to show the remaining 5 hidden checkpoints.
 
The checkpoints where hidden as birdhouses/feeders in the trees and on fence lines, with a punch on the back to punch map to show that your team had arrived. The terrain was once again very challenging.
