Mike Fetzik, Assistant Course Setter

Willing volunteer is Mike's middle name. There is almost nothing he wouldn't do to help make the Wild Adventure Race events more successful and more fun for all involved. One year he even loaned a racer some of his own dry clothing out on the course... can you guess what article he willingly gave up but didn't want back?

Mike provides critical support in scouting the race courses, as well as setting and vetting the control locations.
