The Tuckerman Inferno adventure race started in 2000 as the annual fundraiser for the Friends of Tuckerman Ravine. The race pays homage to the original American Inferno ski races of the 1930’s. While the classic American Infernos were top to bottom ski races only, the current Tuckerman Inferno now includes running, kayaking, biking, hiking and skiing to create a pentathlon event that has earned a reputation for being one of the most challenging adventure races in the country. I plan to compete solo and hope to be win the event and be named "Tuckerman" this spring. I have been skiing in the ravine since I was 14 years old and make at least one annual trip for the amazing experience of skiing over the headwall. Your donation will help to preserve one of the most pristine natural parks in the world. It will also aid my quest to show that a type one diabetic is capable of participating in and winning anything no matter how extreme the event.
