Event Close, Thank You, Stats and Winners

The Irish Jihad has come to a successful close.  THANK YOU to all participants and those who donated time, money, services or products!  The intent of the Irish Jihad was to raise funds for SAR and to raise awareness that SAR needs our help just as we need their help.  The Irish Jihad accomplished the goals and we were able to have fun doing it!  A big thank you to the BLM for allowing this event to take place.  Thank you to Jared Hillhouse at NorthWash Outfitters for running the registration and absorbing the payment gateway fees.  Thank you to Tom Jones at Imlay Canyon Gear for donating prizes. Thank you to Jessica and Duke Alvey at Stan's Burger Shak for matching donations, advertising and providing yummy shakes to those who completed the route.  Thank you to Luke Galyan at BluuGnome for web space and donating prizes.

We raised $1145 that was split between the two counties. The costs of running the event; prizes, shipping, mailings, advertising and handling of monies were all donated so that 100% of the actual donations went to SAR.

3/28/13 — The ABUSEment Brothers (5 people)--18.5 hours
3/29/13 — The Saber Toe Tigers (4 people)--13 hours 29 min

5/11/13 — The Dark Pookas of Endeavor (3 people)--15 hours 45 minutes

During the Registration Period
As people register; their name, registration date, and home town will appear on this page.  Participants will also be given the opportunity to add a personal comment.  The personal comment will be limited to 300 characters.  Personal comments are optional and can be used for anything including fun taunting and gloating.  Keep it fun and clean. Vulgarities or insulting comments will not be allowed.

During the Event
During the Irish Jihad Event you can report your completion by emailing us at IrishJihad2013@gmail.com.  When sending us a completion report please include your name, date of completion, amount of time time the route took you and your team and a your team name if you have one.  When reporting completion you can also give us another personal comment, which will also be optional and limited to 300 characters. You can further taunt, offer thoughts about your adventure, etc. Think good and fun thoughts. Once your completion email is submitted the completion date will be added to this page.  We will not reveal your time and you aren't to either. Times for route completion will not be made public until after June 5th. We do not wish to create an environment where people are competing for the fastest times. The goal is for the canyoneering community to raise money for SAR in a fun and safe manner.

You will also be able to email us 1 (one) photo from your day out.  This is also optional but a fun way to show off the fun times (and or agony) you had while in route.

After the End of the Event
The deadline for submitting completion is midnight June 5th.  No late notifications will be accepted.  Completion times will be listed at this time unless you tell us not to list your time.  Those who donate but do not participate in the event will have the option of being listed in the Irish Jihad community information area.  If you wish to remain anonymous, tell us.

Pooka is a creature of Irish folklore and Welsh mythology,[2] one of the myriad fairy folk, both revered and feared by those who give credence to their existence. According to legend, the Pooka is a deft shapeshifter, capable of assuming a variety of terrifying or pleasing forms

We met our two most important objectives: complete the event within 24 hours, and do so safely. We also had a great time. ;-)
