King of the Mountain Award worth $50 to Fastest Athletes
Open Air Big Bear and Conquer the Bear Presenting Sponsor FRS Healthy Energy are proud to announce the FRS King of The Mountain Award for the Conquer the Bear, and Conquer the Cub Race Series. The King of the Mountain Award, worth $50 cash will go to the first Conquer the Bear, and Conquer the Cub Athlete each to reach the designated point on their respective course.
The FRS King of the Mountain Award starts at the Big Bear PaddleFest, July 9 and 10, a festival of clinics and races on the South Shore of Big Bear Lake, which is also host to the third event in the series, either a 20k or 5k Kayak Race. Now in its 4th year running, Big Bear PaddleFest has become a World Paddle Association sanctioned race and is expected to draw athletes from all over Southern California looking for a picturesque race venue, or just a new challenge.
“We’re so excited to offer a WPA sanctioned race this year along with the FRS Challenge,” said Jim Dooley of North Shore Trading Company, sponsor of Big Bear PaddleFest. Added Janet Dooley, “I’m so impressed with the Conquer the Bear and Conquer the Cub athletes for what they’re doing – four major races, snowshoeing, mountain biking, paddling and trail running!”
Endure the Bear Trail Run, the fourth and final event of the 2011 Conquer the Bear Series, held in September, offers the next chance for athletes to compete for the additional $100 in Cash Prizes to be awarded at each event. Along with the FRS King of the Mountain Award, Conquer the Bear athletes are competing for a $1000 grand prize to be handed out at the finale of the series.
