Geraldine Multi Challenge

Unfortunately the decision has been made to cancel this years event. The combination of Red light setting protocols and apprehension surrounding mass gatherings led us to believe canceling was the most responsible action

Planning starts now for next year !

We will start processing refunds/transfers for those already entered in coming days
