Trotting For A Cure Brings Adventure Racing To North Escambia
October 11, 2009
The first annual Trotting for a Cure brought the sport of adventure racing to North Escambia Saturday to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
The sport of adventure racing is sweeping the nation, a sport where just completing the race is often considering a victory.
Each of the 25 two-member teams in Saturday’s event in Molino and Barrineau Park completed a 20-plus mile course from the Don Sutton Ballpark. The course included a seven mile bicycle race from the park to the Barrineau Park Bridge, a 2.9 mile canoe trip down the Perdido River, a 3.8 mile run back to the bridge, and a seven mile bicycle race back to the park.

Along the way, participants took park in mini-challenges — everything from decorating and feeding a cupcake to their partner, to a cancer-related word scramble, to a blindfolded shoe removal maneuver to a slingshot event.
Dozens of volunteers were stationed along the way to make the race possible, and Race Director Sabrena Padgett said the race would not have been possible without those volunteers.
“I would like to especially thank all of the volunteers that donated countless hours working on this race and also our generous sponsor for their various donations,” Padgett said. “This race was a success because of each and every one of you and I appreciate you. Our efforts will be rewarded in seeing the future cures for cancer.”
