April 30, 2007
A 45-year-old physical therapist from Brighton Township is joining the “The Nevada Passage” made-for-television adventure reality show May 7-12.
Heather McNamara and her partner, Dave Ruby, 47, a post-rehab therapist from La Verne, Calif., will compete against nine coed teams of pilots, Realtors, programmers, accountants, attorneys, engineers, physicians and journalists. The event, sponsored by the Nevada Commission on Tourism is a “lively, engaging way for our state to highlight unusual rural destinations and outdoor adventure opportunities,” Lt. Gov. Brian K. Krolicki, commission chair, said.
“The Nevada Passage” covers more than 1,000 miles throughout the state as athletes engage in a series of adventure sports and excursions in six outdoor destinations. Events include a 10K (6.2-mile) desert run in Valley of Fire State Park May 8, an ATV competition at Amargosa Dunes 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas and a visit to the famed ghost town Rhyolite May 9, back-roads cycling just outside the historic mining town of Tonopah May 10, back-country skiing at Mount Rose near Reno May 11 and a visit to Carson City to explore the state’s capital May 12.
NCOT expects a national television audience of 2 million in more than 100 markets to see the hourlong show during syndication from August through February. NCOT also will make “The Nevada Passage” available to Internet users around the globe online at The Nevada Passage, where visitors can watch or download.
