Lake Okeechobee Survivor Series Adventure Races Announced

Press Release / 28.12.2007

The Lake Okeechobee area of Palm Beach County has always been a wonder of nature thanks to its unique environment. This region was a challenge for the early pioneers, and starting January 2008 it promises to be a challenge again, but in a totally different way.

A series of four Lake Okeechobee Survivor Series Adventure Races has been announced by a subcommittee of the Lake Okeechobee Regional Economic Alliance (LORE).

The first of the four adventure races or \"Extreme Sports at the Lake\" is scheduled January 20, 2008 beginning at 8 a.m., and it promises to be a challenge for even the most experienced adventure racer or team of racers. This three hour event (the shortest of the scheduled four races to be held throughout 2008) will test the participants in running, biking, and challenge tasks, all the while encountering natural and manmade obstacles.

The course designer, Kenneth Lutz, a long-time area resident, has been secretive about specific details, ensuring no one gets a pre-race advantage. \"The course has been essentially built by nature. But, we have added some surprises that will test every participant and every team,\" said Lutz. The only details released by Lutz were the starting location which is the Pahokee Marina and the start time which will be 8:00 a.m.
