A last minute decision was made to award a bonus 2 minutes off the finish time for anyone who brought back garbage from the forest! Many people took advantage of this and we ended up with a nice bag full of trash... well done! The award for most burdensome and large piece of garbage goes to Chris Pedersen for dragging a sheet of metal as tall as he is! That earned a whopping 10 minutes off his finish time.
Description
Join us for an urban/forest WET to sharpen some skills before the Pig War at Sumas Mountain! The forecast is looking good for some sun and warm weather.
