Adventure Racing / Navigation Clinic: Bonk Hard Racing will be partnering with Dynamic Earth Equipment and will be offering TWO
Adventure Racing and Navigation clinics to all interested racers. The clinics will take place on Saturday, April 23rd. The first clinic will be from 8:00AM until
10:00AM and the second clinic will run directly after the first clinic, from 10:00AM until 12:00PM. Both clinics will be held at the Dynamic Earth store in Overland Park.
Advanced registration is required. The cost of the clinic will be $10 per person and will be open to the first 30 people to register for each clinic. The clinic from 8:00AM
until 10:00AM has been added due to such high demand. The 10:00AM - 12:00PM clinic is already full, and the only open spots remaining are in the 8:00AM - 10:00AM clinic.
Registration for the clinic is NOW OPEN! Participants will possibly receive some swag, discounts and possibly some really nice prizes from Dynamic Earth, in addition to some great information about adventure racing and map reading.
