About this race

If you are reading this, then we assume you know what Medved's Harrier Games are.  

If you do not, then read this:  Harrier Games

Mort likes ice cream. 

Now, if you are saying to yourself, "Who is this Mort dude who likes ice cream?" then sit back, read on, and let us tell you a cow tale. 

A long time ago, a young Mister Mort Nace, General Manager and clothing buyer of Medved Running and Walking Outfitters and agent provocateur of Goose Adventure Racing, worked slinging ice cream at the Monroe Ave Friendly's.  This was long before he got bitten by the Specialty run sneaker bug or fell down the adventure racing/trailrunning rabbit hole.  Yeah, that's it, he worked at Friendly's.  It wasn't a long tale. 

So last year, when we were planning out the Harrier Games season, Mr. Nace decided that we needed to do an ice cream game, because Ice cream is pure joy in a cup, a dish, or a cone, no matter the kind you choose.  He is not wrong. 

Welcome to a bit of a different Harrier Game.  The Moo The Merrier is an invite-only game.  (P.S., this is the initial invite. Once you sign up, you will get one of the 70 spots, and event specifics will be emailed to you in early August.) 

We have reserved a special spot on the east side and have room for 70 individual people to play.  

We have a special list of VIP attendees, and a theme: Ice Cream. and cows.

Consider jumping over the moon and signing up to join us on Thursday, August 6th, at 6 pm.
