WAUSAU – (WSAW - Drew Sutherland) - The Rib Mountain Adventure Challenge, Winter Edition made its debut in Doepke Park today. Participants run, snowshoe and bike in a race against the clock to collect as many checkpoints as they can in a three-hour period.

“We made the course choose-your-own-adventure, so you can do it in any order you want, and all the check points are optional, so the teams that come back with the most check points within three hours are going to place the highest,” said race co-director Anna Nummelin
