The Race....
Festivities begin Saturday morning at 10 a.m. with the Kostick Kup Race on Lower Rumrunner at Loon. Teams of five – each with at least one adaptive racer – enjoy friendly competition against the clock and each other. Awards not only go to the fastest racers and teams, but also to the most creative helmets, most stylish descent of the course, most unique finish, and “agony of defeat.” Registration begins at the Robert Harney Adaptive Sports Center office at 8 a.m.

New this year.... teams can fundraise online for their entry into the race as well as earn fantastic incentive items. Go to http://www.nedisabledsports.org/winterchallenge.aspx for all the details.

Dinner, Awards, and Auctions....
The fun continues Saturday evening, indoors at the Beacon Resort in Lincoln. Bidding on unique and valuable silent auction items begins at 5 p.m., followed by dinner, awards, and presentations at 6 p.m, including the presentation of the prestigious Kostick Kup award. Our live auction begins around 7 p.m. Auction items typically include a range of items including vacation home rentals, tickets to sports events, hotel stays, and fine wines!
