NYARA Races and Clinics

The High Rock Challenge / High Rock 10K Trail Run

Staten Island, NY
26 April 2003

High Rock Challenge

The High Rock 10K Adventure Challenge is a 10 kilometer endurance adventure run in the Greenbelt Trail System in Staten Island, New York. Teams consisting of 2 members must run while staying together at all times. Teams will compete in 5 mystery events that are located throughout the course. The mystery events as well as the race course will remain a secret until the start of the race. No special gear is necessary to compete. Mystery events are designed to challenge teamwork, not physical strength.

The High Rock 10K Trail Run travels the same course as the HRC, but you run alone and do not participate in mystery events.
