The 1,000 Mile Challenge is in its third year of sledding around New Brunwick in 24 hours. The ride is a fundraiser to send kids in the province to camp with a goal this year of $250,000.
HALIFAX Two New Brunswickers are spending 24-hours on their snowmobiles in hopes of raising money for kids to go to summer camp. The challenge is called the 1,000-Mile Challenge and was created by Rudi Fowler and Danny Lunn. The two men will attempt to cover 1,000 miles of New Brunswick trails in one day, all while raising funds along the way. The pair started their round-trip challenge Tuesday night and plan to finish in Tracy, N.B. around midnight on Wednesday. Last night it was cold and right now we are sweating, and the trails are really twisty and we re really busy moving around on our sleds. It s just. It s exercise, said Fowler.
