12 HOURS OF ENDURANCE
ATHLETE’S GUIDE

The 12 Hours of Endurance race is based at the National Ability Center. By organizing the event at National Ability Center / www.discovernac.org / we will raise awareness of the great programs this non-profit organization offers. Proceeds from site fee will go toward biking program for challenged athletes.

This event exposes athletes to great summer outdoor activities in Park City. It will also lay the foundation for teams as they start their journey into team endurance racing. Other, more experienced athletes, will merely fine-tune their skills.
