TrailBlazers Assisting the Discovery Health Channel's
"Body Challenge"

ATLANTA, GA March 7, 2004 -- Members of the TrailBlazers Adventure Racing club will be lending a helping hand to the Discovery Health Channel’s reality fitness show, the “Body Challenge.”

The “Body Challenge” television series features three men and three women looking to lose approx 30-35 lbs and are provided a personal trainer and a nutritionist over a period of 12 weeks. During that time, they will participate in several fitness challenges around the country and periodic “weigh-ins” all under the watchful eye of the cameras. The person with the most positive health results wins the grand prize - usually a great trip for two to an exotic location.

The next episode it set to be filmed at Stone Mountain Park in Georgia on March 14th. TrailBlazer members consulted with Film Garden, the show’s production company and designed a sprint adventure race to challenge the six contestants. In teams of two, they will paddle sit-on-top kayaks on the park’s lake, transition to a 4-mile bike course around the monument, and hike 1.5 miles up to the top of the mountain. The show’s film crews will follow the action on land, sea and air.

“ We are happy to contribute to the filming of this show as it will bring our sport to an audience that might not know about it or consider doing a race,” says TrailBlazer member Bryan Goble. “We hope to inspire others by showing them that it’s a lot of fun, extremely rewarding and with a bit of conditioning, it’s well within reach for anyone.”

The TrailBlazer club’s mission is to promote the sport of adventure racing through participation, education, and community outreach. With over 120 active members and chapters in Atlanta, Georgia and Chattanooga, Tennessee, TrailBlazers is the largest adventure racing club in the southeast.

Air dates and times are to be determined.
