The Sport's Biggest Prize
The prize may be inner satisfaction. Or the glint off a finisher's medal. Or a share of the sports biggest prize purse. In 2008, top finishers in each Endurance Challenge event receive exceptional gear packages from The North FaceŽ and supporting sponsors.
The nation's top ultramarathoners will aim to stake a claim to a top-three finishing spot and a prize structure greatly expanded from 2007. Regional 50-Mile champions get $1,000 and a trip to The North FaceŽ Endurance Challenge Championship in San Francisco. Second Place receives $600 and Third Place takes home $350. At the Championship, male and female winners each grab $10,000. Scond Place finishers receive $4,000 and Third Place gets $1,000.
