Online, December 10, 2009 (Newswire.com) - As the sun rises on 22nd May next year, (Endangered Species Day 21st May 2010) , thousands of amateur athletes across America will line up ready to embark on The Sunchaser Challenge - a new kind of adventure for every level of ability.

Whether you want to push yourself to the limit and compete against some of the nation's toughest competitors or if you just fancy a fun and active day with a difference- Sunchaser Challenge is for you.

This exciting and unique fundraising event is made up of four identical challenges- one in each of the four different time zones on mainland United States- with one united aim to raise awareness of the plight of rare animals under threat of extinction....what better excuse do you need to get away for the weekend?

The 4 Sunchaser locations are:

Lake Saranac, NY (4 hours drive from NYC, Boston, Montreal and Toronto)
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (1 hour drive from Chicago and Milwaukee)
Lake Havasu, Arizona (3 hour drive from Phoenix, Flagstaff and Las Vegas)
Lake Tahoe, California (3 hour drive from San Francisco)

Teams and individuals will cycle, run and kayak in the spectacular scenery of some of America's most beautiful national parks and resorts whilst having fun and facing challenges for all levels of ability.

Registration opens soon for this once in a lifetime challenge but places are limited. To become a Sunchaser simply log onto to www.sunchaserchallenge.com for more information.

Of the 6,500 species in the United States that scientists believe are at risk of extinction, only 1,200 are officially listed as threatened or endangered. We all have a role to play in helping protect endangered species - because once they are gone, we cannot bring them back.
