2009 Elevation Map
If you’re looking for a fun thing to do with your work buddies or clients, then try the Calgary Stampede 4x10K Corporate Challenge. It doesn’t matter whether you’re fast or slow, it's the teams’ combined time that counts. Yep that’s right, each team member runs the 10K, each individual time is recorded and the total team time is posted…. fastest time wins!!!
Companies can enter as many teams as they like. Each team member must complete an entry form or the team captain can enter all team members using the on-line registration form.
