Come join us for a PUSH RACE, and then a SKATE COMP with BBQ and LIVE MUSIC at the skate park afterward. The coarse is about 8 miles long and most of it is downhill or flat, but there are some uphill areas. The push race will start around 2 so meet up at THE UPRISE by 1:30 at the latest. All the entry fees will be donated to the Benton County Skateboard Alliance to help their effort to construct a new skate park bowl.
Directions to The Uprise can be found at this link: http://starttheuprise.com/contact_us.html
Here is a map of the push race.
