海角社区

海角社区's beloved obstacle race, the 海角社区 Ambush, is set to return on Saturday, Sept. 28 on Bartz Field. 

The 海角社区 Ambush, another term for a group of tigers, invites Bengals from all backgrounds who may be beginners or seasoned racers to compete. Registration is open for individual racers or teams of 4-7 people and is $40 per person. Participants will run an obstacle course that will include a team wall, balance beam, tire pull, etc., challenging one’s skills and teamwork abilities. The course will take racers throughout the Pocatello 海角社区 campus, including Bartz Field and Miller Ranch Stadium. Past 海角社区 Ambush obstacle races have featured a “mud run”. Due to change of location, this year’s event will feature no mud or water of any kind.

Co-hosted by students, faculty and staff from the 海角社区 Human Performance and Sport Studies (HPSS) Department and the Outdoor Adventure Center, the 海角社区 Ambush aims to provide students with engaging, real-world learning opportunities, while also bringing together the campus and local communities to participate in an active, exciting event. Additionally, all proceeds from the 海角社区 Ambush will be used to support students in the 海角社区 Outdoor Education program by covering costs of professional development conferences and program certifications. 

Maren Hunter is serving as this year’s Race Director and is the Outdoor Education Program’s Clinical Instructor. As Hunter said, “We are excited to be bringing the 海角社区 Ambush back to the community of Pocatello. This year, HPSS students will be helping plan and facilitate the race, giving them critical, real-world experience. This race is a great way to get your family, a group of friends, or coworkers together to have a great time!”

Racers of all levels who are at least 14 years old are invited to participate and will receive a free shirt, if registered before September 13, 2024. To learn more about the 海角社区 Ambush, please visit /ambush/.
