Event Date:
August 2, 2014 (All day) Registration has begun for the 2014 Kids Adventure Games, the premier race for children ages six to 14 that features teams of two competing in mountain biking, hiking, zip lines, a Tarzan rope swing, giant Slope-n-Slide, cargo nets, mud pits and more.
The race is scheduled for August 2, 2014 at Mammoth Mountain as part of a new, exciting eight-race series, the Kids Adventure Games, taking place at various locations across the nation. Event details are as follows:
To accommodate different racing abilities, younger or beginner racers will compete on a short course. Older racers will compete on a longer, course with more challenging obstacles. Cost for the race is $120 per team of two through July 1. After that date, the cost increases to $150 until registration ends on June 14 or the race is full.
Last year's race in Vail sold out with a 30 team waiting list, so racers are encouraged to register early. Online registration is available on www.kidsadventuregames.con. Clinics will offer opportunities for racers to learn and improve their skills on Friday, August 1.
Clinics feature teamwork, race-day preparation, climbing and mountain biking. Clinics also sold out during last year's event so early registration is encouraged. Cost for the clinics is $50 per child. Participants must register as a team. No incomplete registrations will be accepted. All participants will receive cool SWAG from the event sponsors.
The Kids Adventure Games was founded in 2009 by Hélène and Billy Mattison, with one event in Vail. After five successful summer events, NRG Marketing joined forces with the Mattson's to expand the Kids Adventure Games on a national level.
According to KAG organizer Billy Mattison, an experienced adventure racer who has competed and won major adventure races throughout the world, he created an event that would teach teamwork, independence, problem solving and fun. He says he's thrilled to take the event nation-wide and allow even more kids the opportunity to challenge themselves and their friends while having a true adventure and an incredible time.
"Mammoth Mountain is a perfect venue for the Kids Adventure Games and we are proud to partner with them this summer. They share our passion to provide kids the opportunity to learn, grow, thrive, be adventurous and most importantly, have fun."
