REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR WOMEN'S RALLY 4 A REASON (Article published by: The Island Park News)

ISLAND PARK – “Hope – Love – Cure” is this year’s All Women’s Rally 4 A Reason’s theme, says Tania Phillips of Mountain Mayhem in Last Chance, one of the event’s organizers. The cross-country snowmobile event is set for Saturday, January 21, 2012, with an 11 am start time.

This will be the event’s 28th Anniversary, making it the longest running all women’s snowmobile rally in the lower 48 states.



The start/finish area is on the banks of the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River at The Trouthunter Lodge. The course winds through the scenic Targhee National Forest on trails groomed by the Fremont County Parks and Recreation Department’s snowmobile trailgrooming program.



The area’s most enthusiastic female snowmobile riders will participate, and the after-event party at the Trouthunter Lodge is sure to be a blast as well as a successful fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. Two age groups compete on three all-women teams: Juniors (ladies 18 to 39) and Ladies (40 and older).



Teams with a woman under age 40 must participate in the Junior class. There are two classes of sleds for the Ladies class: "limited," which are sleds that total 1800cc and under, and "unlimited," sleds that total 1801cc and up. Junior participants run all together, no limited or unlimited class. The Junior course is 75 miles long, and the Ladies course covers 50 miles. Registration fees have been lowered this year, from $175 to $150.



Making a special appearance this year, will be a new event "mascot." The mysterious and famous "Abominable Snowman" has been retrieved from the snowy, thick timber of the Targhee National Forest and has agreed to attend the Rally 4 A Reason, the Co-ed Rally (February 4) and the Ol’ Men’s Rendezvous (Feb. 25) this winter.



In addition to the Rally 4 A Reason’s popular silent auction and raffle, the rally will also hold a "Grand Raffle" of chances to win a 2010 Yamaha Nytro (anonymously donated) with custom graphics representing community support for breast cancer awareness. Tickets will be sold for $20 each or 6 for $100. The custom Nytro will be making many appearances throughout the Island Park area and will be at the Ol’ Men’s Rendezvous and the Co-ed Rally. The lucky winner will be drawn after the Ol' Man's Rendezvous on Saturday, February 25 2012. Participants in each snowmobile rally will receive a FREE raffle ticket in their registration packets.



“The snowmobile events committee is very excited and gracious to our Nytro contributor and sponsors for making this happen,” says Phillips.



Many volunteers are needed and event sponsors are still being solicited. Donations to the silent auction and raffle will also be appreciated. For more information and a registration packet, please contact Tania Phillips at 208-558-7390 or Bill Smith at 208-558-7015.
