All race participants will receive an exclusive ASR t-shirt, ASR finisher's medal, 2018 Abominable beanie, and those 21 years of age or older will also receive a free local craft brew at the finish from sponsor Geneva Lake Brewing Co.

Before and after the event, participants are encouraged to check out the 2018 Base Camp, located at the bottom of The Mountain Top, along with the nearby Yeti's Lodge. While there, guests are invited to listen to live music, play games, enjoy food and drinks by the fire pit, and watch fellow racers conquer the course.

ASR is proud to donate a portion of the 2018 event proceeds to the Oscar Mike Foundation (https://www.oscarmike.org/), which aims to help get injured veterans "On-The-Move." Each year, ASR honors service men and women with the presentation of the flag by the U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard, special guest speakers from the Oscar Mike Foundation and the singing of the national anthem.

Participants who are interested in making it a weekend getaway can enjoy exclusive offers such as discounted hotel rates at Grand Geneva and the family-friendly Timber Ridge Lodge & Waterpark, which boasts a 50,000-square foot indoor/outdoor waterpark.
