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.
