HFP  Racing Springs into Summer with a 20% OFF sale!

Traditionally HFP Racing has offered an annual 25% off New Year’s Day (Jan 1-15) and 20% off Spring Super Sale (April 1-15) that gives our loyal customers a chance to save some money while planning their season AND don’t forget we added the 15% off Summer Super Sale in 2013 that was good for HFP’s August & September events.  However, this winter was just awful and the race season kind of snuck up on us. After our last snow storm of the year suddenly spring arrive and our first race less than a couple weeks later. So…while the HFP staff was down in Helen, Georgia enjoying our annual spring training camp we totally forgot to offer our traditional spring sale AND many of you let us know. Sorry 🙂 Since spring is well on its way we decided to re-name our annual spring super sale to the “Spring into Summer Super Sale” since we’re now nearly a month into the season. The sale starts at 12:01am on April 24 and will go through Midnight on April 30.

Looking forward to seeing you at the race.

Sincerely,
Shannon Kurek

Race officials from the American Triple-T announced today significant course changes to race #2, #3 and #4 bike courses.  All changes were made based on enhancing the safety and logistics of the courses. “With several major accidents on all of the courses at the same locations over the last few years I decided it was time to take a serious look at changing the courses. While addressing the safety issues for all of the bike courses we decided a 1-lap course for the signature half distance race would allow for a much more enjoyable final race from a participant perspective and provide our race team with much better logistics. We were able to keep the challenging integrity of the courses but remove some of the more dangerous descents and completely overhauled the Olympic PM course to what I believe will be a much more fun, enjoyable course for the participants.” Shannon Kurek, Race Director American Triple-T

Join Shannon Kurek and some of his staff on Saturday, April 19th to pre-ride the new 1-lap 56 mile bike course at 9:30am from the beach parking lot at Shawnee State Park.

Two-time GRAMMY nominated, Dove Award-wining Sanctus Real creates compelling, authentic music, about topics that they pray will matter.  Rather than simply glossing over struggles, Sanctus Real hasn’t been afraid to shine a light on them.  And by being transparent about what they’ve been through, songs like “I’m Not Alright”, “Don’t Give Up” and “We Need Each Other” have emerged as encouraging anthems of hope and healing that listeners can cling to in trying times. You can listen to their music here: http://bit.ly/SanctusReal

Anthony Mossburg is a multi-award winning acoustic artist from West Virginia who is currently residing in Columbus, OH. He is known for writing moving lyrics, creating melodies which stick with you long after the songs are over, and for his deep, rich, unforgettable voice.
