The Longest Day Adventure Race Reports
Ashley Christine and her teammate Matt Wilson had three goals for NYARA’s Longest Day Adventure Race:
1. No one gets injured
2. HAVE FUN
3. Finish the race - Finish meaning: Push to experience a full 24 hours and as many miles as appropriate, without breaking the first 2 rules.
