Ride
"The Shamrock PATH"
ACTHA Invites
PATH Intl. Centers to Be Ride Hosts
|
|
ACTHA has coined
March as "The Shamrock PATH" with a goal of 1,000 Obstacle
Challenge trail rides around the country during March and specifically
March 14-16, 2014. Some rides will still be taking place in April. The
event requires only an arena or some open land, and two or three people
from your center to manage the event. By becoming a ride host, your
center would attract trail riders in your area to come for a fun day of
casual competition. You can gain local exposure while earning funds for
your center and PATH Intl., as your center will retain a portion of
entry fees.
To learn more, visit ACTHA at www.actha.us/path to
see how this works and how your center could benefit, or call Robin
Tilghman, ACTHA's PATH Intl. events manager, at (434) 989-1437.
