Saturday May 11th
Can you survive the Waterfront 5?
Mud, Sweat & Cheers... The Bordoni 5k Ex-
treme Fitness Challenge will support the construction
of the Chris Bordoni Fitness Trailhead along the
Cayuga Waterfront Trail in Cass Park. The Bordoni Fit-
ness Challenge, on Saturday, May 11, is a great team
effort for families, friends and colleagues. It will push
you, make you sweat, laugh, cry, and get a little dirty
while bringing out the best in you and your teammates.
Five person teams will be challenged by strength, car-
dio and obstacle activities at 5 stations along the trail
starting at Island Health & Fitness and finishing at the
future site of the fitness trailhead along Park Road at
the south end of the Cass Park Trail.
The entry fee is $40 each or $200 per team or $30
per person or $150 per team for military and law en-
forcement personnel. Four 5-person teams will be re-
leased every 20 minutes starting at 9:00 a.m. until
12:20 p.m. There will be a reception at Island Health &
Fitness for participants as their heats are completed.
This is not a competition and all teams must finish to-
gether, as a team. No one will be left behind.
All proceeds from Mud, Sweat & Cheers will sup-
port the design and construction of the Chris Bordoni
Fitness Trailhead, an outdoor fitness trailhead to be
located on the Cayuga Waterfront Trail in Cass Park.
Construction is planned for summer of 2013.

CORPORAL CHRIS BORDONI
Chris Bordoni was a local kid who loved to play hard. As he grew he
started turning that drive into a personal mission – a mission of service to
his community and country. When Chris Bordoni became a Marine, he was
fulfilling the destiny he felt he was born to achieve. Tragically, Corporal Bor-
doni lost his life overseas during Operation Enduring Freedom.
From sadness comes hope…
Chris loved being active, in shape, and helping others reach their fitness goals. Now, it is
time for our community to pull together with Chris’s spirit, for MUD, SWEAT & CHEERS.
MS&C is a team based 5k fitness challenge to benefit the Chris Bordoni Fitness Trailhead of
the Cayuga Waterfront Trail at Cass Park. This is a great team event for family, friends and
co-workers. Teams of five will be challenged by strength, cardio and obstacle activities at
each of the 5 fitness challenge stations along the trail. MS&C will make you sweat, struggle,
and endure with the team to bring out the best in each and every person. You’ll be exhausted,
but get so much in return. Join us!
Do it for the team. Do it for the community. Do it for Chris!Do it for the team. Do it for the community. Do it for Chris!
