Last year’s event was an obvious success, bringing in just over 100 participants from all over the US, and some international participants from Europe, Canada, and South America. These athletes are drawn to Bainbridge to experience the unique high speed roller coaster like track that is Jester Hill Rd. These athletes typically don’t travel alone and often bring along friends and family to join in on the festivities in Bainbridge. Last year in addition to the 100 + participants, the event also brought in an additional 170 + spectators throughout the course of the weekend.
"Each year it is our goal to expand on our event and this year we hope to do it bigger and better than ever before! We hope to attract all demographics of athletes and fans alike to come to Bainbridge to participate in a weekend of fun", says the event organizer Dan Oliver. "Each year we are happy and honored to host our event in Bainbridge, Ohio and we would hope and plan to come back again year after year!"
