The Beast Mode Challenge in memory of Myrel Schermerhorn is going to be bigger and better this year. Big plans including a total of $2,500 in tuition scholarships and more prizes are amongst the plans. Coordinator of the Challenge and Myrel’s mother, Mary Schermerhorn, said, “I am looking forward to watching everybody put forward their best ‘beast mode’ effort, especially the kids.” There were more participants under age 16 last year than any other age category, even though the Challenge is open to men and women of all ages.
There was an impressive turnout last year; over 100 participants competed in the four-part physical challenge competition. More participants are expected to compete this year as individuals or in a four-person team. Prizes will be awarded to the best team costume and top family team, among other categories.
The Beast Mode Challenge was created to give back to the community and remember Myrel, who tragically passed away in December 2011. Myrel often said that it was time to go into “beast mode” during his workouts. The challenge has been set up so that nearly anyone can participate. There are four components to the challenge including pull ups (or modified arm hang for females), push ups, sit ups, and a one mile run.
The Frazee Turkey Days event will take place, rain or shine, on July 27 at the Frazee High School football field. Registrations for the Beast Mode Challenge are currently being accepted online at beastmodechallenge.com. Participants are encouraged to pre-register. The cost is $10 for individuals and $30 for teams of four.
