INSANE INFLATABLE 5K RACE COMING TO HUDSON VALLEY AUGUST 1 & 2
Portion of Proceeds to Benefit the MidHudson Regional Hospital HUDSON VALLEY, NY – 2015 – The Insane Inflatable 5K, a new, dynamic fun run series made up of inflatable obstacles and taking place in over 70 cities across the United States, is coming to Hudson Valley, NY on August 1 and 2, 2015, it was announced today by Stuart Kaul, Director of Events, Insane Inflatable 5K. The Insane Inflatable 5K is designed to be accessible to everybody – from competitive runners looking for a different type of challenge, to weekend warriors looking for the next great obstacle run, and even those armchair athletes looking to try something fun and new. The course is approximately 3 miles long and incorporates 11+ extreme inflatable obstacles throughout the unique terrain of the Dutchess County Fairgrounds.
The 11+ obstacles combine imagination, creativity, and most importantly a large dose of fun, coupled with a touch of insanity. The signature inflatables (including five new obstacles added for 2015!) range in size and complexity, including “Pure Misery,” a 100-foot obstacle testing strength, agility, flexibility, and endurance, “Jump Around,” the largest inflatable of its kind with more than 70 feet of bounce pad, and “Vertigo,” the most awe-inspiring inflatable of the event where participants climb to the top of the steepest slide in the industry (at 6 stories tall) and slide down to finish the race and claim their medals.
Beyond the obstacles and the race, the Insane Inflatable 5k will also have a “Midway” where participants can enjoy games, food, beverages, merchandise, and swag from local vendors and sponsors. Additionally, the event will give back to the community, designating a portion of the proceeds from the race to the MidHudson Regional Hospital.
The Hudson Valley event, taking place at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds on Saturday, August 1, and Sunday, August 2 will kick off at 9:00 a.m. with the first wave, and additional waves will run concurrently until 1:00 p.m. “We are very excited to bring the fastest growing 5K fun run to Hudson Valley,” said Mr. Kaul. “This is a great event with something for everyone – families and friends alike – with the biggest takeaway being a few hours of healthy fun and camaraderie.”
Registration fees, which include an event t-shirt and medal upon completion, range from $49 for advance registration to $75 for day of event registration. Children are welcome to participate, with a suggested minimum age of 8 years old and a minimum height requirement of 42”.
