The High Rock Challenge

Staten Island, NY
22 May 2004


Were you a participant in the 2004 High Rock Challenge? Let us know what you thought.

This was my third year in a row doing the High Rock. Every year has been great and challenging. I love how every year the course and the challenges change! Keep up the great work and I will keep coming back.

Congrats to Betsy and the gang... awesome event.. loved every second of it....will be back and encourage more siac members to run/walk/crawl/climb etc


Mark Vogt, Team siac1


This was our first race like this - thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to do more races like this. Have signed up for the muddy buddy which is similar but a bike / run and challenges ending in a mud pit.


Came in second place in the Masters +50 I knew if we kept up running eventually we would end up in an age group we could place in!!!!


Thanks for a wonderful race.


Donna Taylor, Team Beach Chair & a Brewsky


Did you think the level of organization was adequate?

No. Back up at the challenges.


This is my favorite race of the year, I would do one a month if I could, but this year's challenges were not that good and there was too much of a back up at the mental one, a faster team should not be penalized for being fast, catching another team, and then having to wait. I'm sure there was a volunteer issue (not enough), but you may want to try and cover that for next year. But this is the best race of the year.

An absolute ball. Look forward to more races of a similar nature. I'll do the High Rock again, absolutely!


Tom Mahady, Team Fat & Flab


Great event looking forward to the next one. Great Job !


Sean P Sweeney, Team Run and Stumpy


I would have like all of the 5 challenges to have been physical based. Why was the race not covered by the Staten Island Advance? Where can I find the results?(web site?)

Loved the passports, but next year you gotta collect them at the end of the race. Maybe have stamps or orienteering punches to make the passport thing more official. Great fun event. Maybe offer a double option next year (do the course 2X).
