Today is International Family Day. What a perfect day to highlight why we have moved our race events to our new location in Pingree Grove, IL at Goebbert's Farm.
đ LOCATION: The venue is conveniently located just off of Interstate 90 at the Huntley Exit, 50 minutes due west of Chicago.
đ VENUE SUPPORT: The team at Goebbert's Farm is dedicated to growing the Highlander Assault Brand alongside Goebbert's, with the creation of new permanent obstacles and volunteer support throughout the event.
đINFRASTRUCTURE: The venue is better equipped to handle a bigger event with their own food service, full service bars, stages, utilites, shelter, and attractions all on sight.
đFAMILY FOCUS: The venue allows for the entire family to enjoy the event and make an entire day of it. The course will be easily accessible for spectators to cheer on their family members, the Race Village is loaded with activities for the youngsters, including playgrounds and attractions, no need to leave for dinner as there is food service on site, and entertainment will be present throughout the events, even for the kiddos.
đOBSTACLES: Even with the focus on family, our team did not forget about our hardcore OCR friends. Over the next few years, we plan to bring in new and never before seen obstacles to Highlander Assault that are more challenging and better than some that we have had in the past.
We are excited to have your entire Clan join us on August 15th to share this new exciting adventure with us!
