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.
