We had over 780 particpants
In the extreme obstacle course
It was an overwhelming success
We have showcased the Erie area
We have brought home to people
The importance of physical fitness and exercise
We had over 85 individuals that participated
In the adapted course
The adapted course is really the showcase
And heartbeat of this event
That was a 1-1/2 mile course
That was located around Beach 11
We just wanted people with developmental
Physical, any kind of disability
Tto come out and have fun
Everyone that particpated in both events received a medal
This has now served as a motivator
For persons with disabilities or without to become fitter
It was a sight to behold to see all these people
From over 13 states that came to Erie, Pennsylvania
They ate in restaurants
They stayed in hotels
They went to stores in the area
And we know this event did stimulate the economy
In the Erie community by bringing
People from out of town to this event
And we look forward to doing that again
