Inaugural Bush Rush competition kicks off in La Ronge
Residents in the North have a new competition to push them to the limits.
The tri-communities of La Ronge, Air Ronge and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band will play host to a brand new event this weekend.
The first ever Bush Rush ultimate challenge spans five kilometers and features 14 obstacles for individuals, or teams of two to tackle.
“We just wanted to host an event for the people in town, something unique,” race coordinator Dionne Tatlow said. “[Coordinator] Travis [Hegland] is retired military, and he’s the current fitness coordinator for [JRMCC]… he’s well versed in obstacle races and Spartan races.”
