Midwest MedWAR

10/18/2015

Drs. Kyle Brown, Craig Koch and Jake Jensen participated in the Midwest MedWAR (Medical Wilderness Adventure Race) in Michigan, placing 7th out of 31 teams. It is a combination of adventure races with wilderness medicine scenarios built into them. The races are generally 6-7 hours long and utilize land, water and any other natural elements available in the area. Congratulations guys! Thanks for sharing your photos, Craig!
