An adventure for the whole family!

 
 
 

Come play outside with us!

The Bordulacky Attacky is a shortened, less intense version of the Bordulac Attack Adventure Series. Perfect for families and/or junior racers looking for fun, less strenuous outdoor activities. These challenges will get your heart pumping; however, you can still have a conversation while doing them, and stop for some fun pictures along the way! In the Bordulacky Attacky Adventure Series, you can compete as a family, or your junior racers can compete individually as you cheer them on.

Juniors are any racer 14 years and younger.

If juniors want a harder challenge, they can level up into any harder Bordulac Attack event and complete that race segment.

Adults will record times via the Strava app or on their mobile stopwatches.

  • Remember to email us your family or junior’s segment race times to info@bordulacattack.com if you don’t use the Strava mobile app to record the event, and instead use your mobile stopwatch.
