Hundreds try to tame Tough Tiger course at Hampden Meadows School

Annual adventure race raises money for school’s PTO

Posted

The cold wet weather on Sunday, May 19, could not dampen the spirits of those who participated in this year’s HMS Tough Tiger adventure race. 

As usual, a very large crowd turned out for the event, which raises money for the Hampden Meadows School PTO. The participants were treated to dozens of fun obstacles, including a huge mud pit and “car wash” located near the finish line. 

The Tough Tiger actually offered two courses — a Blue Course that followed along side-streets, through the woods to Sowams School, back along the Greenbelt trail, and past Kent Street Pond, and a Yellow Course that had adaptive features that catered to a range of abilities. 

The first 1,000 people to register received a Tough Tiger T-shirt. 

The HMS campus also played host to plenty of other activities, including class basket raffles, and plenty of food trucks.
