Jason W. Hunt Memorial Challenge
Warren Wilson College
Asheville, North Carolina
Sponsored by the Outing Department, teams of three compete over backcountry terrain: fun , mud, and the great outdoors.
This is an annual event held during May Mayhem weekend: circus, music, and the Memorial Challenge combined.
Jason Michaels, Outing Director, created this event in 2005. Here is his explanation:
It's a challenge for teams of 3 (students or staff of the
college), the course is not revealed until the morning of the event,
it's an orienteering course that leads the teams to check points, some
are simple control points to help determine the course, some are staffed
checkpoints that present the teams with various challenges..... It is a small
scale event, and only open to the WWC community, however it would
honor a member of our community and those of us whom Jason's memory
is forever alive. Would you feel comfortable with us renaming the event the Jason W. Hunt Memorial Challenge and introducing the foundation and it's mission to those community members not already familiar?
