Despite having to cancel the Saturday, June 30 Wintergreen Adventure Challenge because of storm-related power outages, athletes braved multiple elevation ascents and obstacles Sunday. NCL Publisher Yvette Stafford was among several hundred crazy souls who tackled the course, which was reminiscent of October’s Tough Mudder event. Though the WAC was 3 miles shorter, the added slope ascents proved to be very challenging. Proceeds from the event benefited Wintergreen Adaptive Sports, whose volunteers cheered on athletes ad they snaked their way through the rigorous trail.
