Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield
"Battle for Fitness"
The "Battle for Fitness" provides four events to allow our visitors to enjoy the battlefield and learn about the importance of preserving Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield and our other national parks. A special award will be given to each participant who successfully completes the challenge between January 2 and December 31, 2009.
To receive a hat, shirt and/or bandanna participants must reach the minimum distance in one of the following categories:
Walking – 100 miles
Running – 200 miles
Biking – 250 miles
Horse riding - 200 miles
The battlefield will provide each participant with a card on which they will record the date and number of miles exercised. Once the number of miles for a category has been reached, simply bring the card to the Visitor Center information desk and a ranger will present your award. It’s that simple.
Please keep in mind that a fee is charged for all those who visit and use the battlefield. Visitors may purchase a yearly pass for $20.00. The pass includes not only the pass holder, but all passengers in the vehicle at the time of the visit.
