WEATHER and ATTIRE
The Boiler Challenge is held in nearly all types of weather, so be prepared! This is an outdoor activity, and weather is just one more element in the challenge. Cancellations will occur in cases where the weather may cause imminent danger on the course, such as lightning or heavy rain. The Boiler Challenge is outdoors in a lightly wooded area, and there is a chance that you will get dirty. Wear clothing that you will not mind “scruffing” up a bit.
Shoes should be: Close toed, No sandals, flip flops, etc. Wear durable and comfortable shoes such as sneakers, running shoes, or hiking boots. *You will absolutely not be permitted on the high team challenge course without proper footwear. You may also be limited on low challenge elements that you are permitted to participate in.
Clothing should be: Loose, Casual, Durable, Comfortable, Layered (suitable to the season)
