Equal purse offered for Wigwam Mountain Bike Challenge

The 2008 edition of the Wigwam Mountain Bike Challenge, a cross country race hosted by the Sheboygan FAT KATS will be held on October 12 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

New for 2008, men and women will receive an equal share of the prize purse for the top five places. Regular payouts for the remaining top 10 will be based off the Wisconsin Off Road Series (WORS) standard payout schedules.

Returning to the race will be hole shot primes in which all classes will have the opportunity to receive a cash payout for being the first, second or third across a line setup 500 yards up the trail from the start. Also returning will be the Equalizer hill prime, which rewards riders with a US$5 bill for making it up the dreaded 20 yard Equalizer headwall that leads into the Sheboygan Quarry.
