DONNA Puck & Stick Stair Challenge powered by Jacksonville Icemen

Posted

The second annual DONNA Puck & Stick Stair Challenge on Nov. 16 powered by Jacksonville Icemen features a multi-tiered endurance event, survivorship celebration and a Jacksonville Icemen Hockey game later that evening. There are four options to choose from – Team Puck, Team Stick Goalie and the Hat Trick Challenge.

The Goalie is ideal for younger enthusiasts and families. The Goalie lap is a short, flat concourse lap. Goalie entry fee is $20.

The Pucks, more than a Goalie, not quite a Stick. This entry-level stair challenge includes several flights of stairs and the concourse level of Veterans Memorial Arena, twice, before passing through the arena bowl and exiting the building to the finish line. Puck entry fee is $45.

The Sticks, run a similar course, however, this group kicks it up a notch by including a five-level “turning” staircase.  The Sticks adventure also includes a pathway of narrow stairways before passing through the arena bowl and building exit to the finish line. Stick entry fee is $45.

The Hat Trick Challenge is for those select few strong enough to complete all three events and who enjoy a “challenge race.” And yes, there is an extra medal. Hat Trick entry fee is $65.

Registration Includes a gender-fitted, long-sleeved performance race shirt; pre- and post-race party with music, food and beverage; Heroes Hospitality to celebrate survivors and top fundraisers; chip-timed race with awards presented to the top finishers; commemorative medal for all finishers; and a ticket to the Nov. 16 Icemen hockey game against the Orlando Solar Bears.

Awards are given to the top overall breast cancer survivor and top overall male and female finishers for each division.

Online race registration will remain open through Saturday morning. Register online prior to arriving. Packet Pickup is available 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at DONNA Headquarters, 11762 Marco Beach Drive, Suite 6. For information, call (904) 355-PINK (7465).

Race day packet pickup will be held after the race in the registration area – because who wants to figure out what to do with that fabulous goodie bag and finisher’s shirt BEFORE the race?
