It took almost 3-1/2 months of in-person meetings, virtual meetings, ATV rides, vehicles getting stuck, math (lots of math), paper maps, digital maps, GPS tracking, getting lost, and tons of coffee. But because of the passion that drives this organization is so immense (let’s be honest, endless), all the work up to this point becomes a triviality when you can make an announcement of this sort.
We’ll be tackling this “big-deal news” in parts so there is a clear understanding of what’s in store for our 2023 events. Meaning that you’ll need some time to process this before registration opens on Saturday the 15th of October… ??
FOUR RACES AND A BIGGER PURSE!!!
In the 13 previous events we have had 10 years with two races and three years with three races!! In 2023 we are going bust with four races!! Your read that right!! We are always striving to be more encompassing and “more better” at what we do and provide!!!
So yeah, we are going to have four races in 2023; CD150, CD80, CD30, and CD15. Not only that, the overall purse has increased almost 8% from last year, making it the second largest in our 14-year history!!!
