The Mike Ward Challenge: Go the Extra Mile, in the 7.3K Mike Ward Challenge honoring the man who inspired the event. Mike was a longtime member of CFR who passed away in 2017 at the age of 73, thus the 7.3k. His wish was for the race to continue annually and to introduce more people to the resort. We give awards in the 5k for the Overall Male and Female along with first and second place Male and Female winners in each age group as well as a special finisher's medal for those who complete the Mike Ward Challenge.
