No participants may compete in bare feet. Free T-shirts will be given to the first 75 registrants who sign up and participate.

Wendell Hughes, president of the Plattsburgh Noon Kiwanis Club, brought this competition to the club in 2024, and it was a big success! Since the motto of Kiwanis is “Serving the children of the world,” the club was overwhelmingly in favor of this exciting hands-on project that focuses on kids. “We are looking for lots of volunteers for this event and would like to hear from them,” stated Hughes.

The following sponsorships are available to local businesses: $1000 Major Sponsor, $300 T-Shirt Sponsor, $200 Trophy Sponsor, and $150 Ribbon Sponsor. The Plattsburgh Noon Kiwanis Club has been serving the North Country since 1929. The club meets on the second Thursday of each month for dinner at 5:30 pm and the fourth Thursday of each month for lunch at 12:15 pm in the Comfort Inn’s breakfast room.
