HOOD RIVER, OR. - The Subaru Gorge Games doesn't return to Hood River until July, but for all of you adventure junkies out there you can get your fix by logging on to www.gorgegames.com. With revamped graphics and content, gorgegames.com is set to become a major resource for the Subaru Gorge Games. Some of the new features on the site include a photo gallery, media registration, info on the Gorge as well as having an extremely user friendly layout.

The site provides a wealth of information on this year's competitions, clinics, youth activities, concerts and the Gorge itself. Designed by 509, Inc, an Oregon based web development agency, gorgegames.com features some of the most advanced technology on the web. Setting the pace of the site is a multimedia Flash homepage complete with a music selector. Quick hitting pictures and graphics create a unique feel that only the Subaru Gorge Games can provide. A countdown box on the event's homepage changes hourly to reflect the ever approaching games along with latest info and updates.

" This years site provides more of everything. It has competition info, athlete registration, e-cards and even information about where to stay in the Gorge. Our goal was to capture the essence of this unique event, and build on our relationship. I think we've accomplished both," said Tyler Barnes, president of 509, Inc.

From elite athletes to weekend thrill seekers, Subaru Gorge Games' competitors vie for the gold in nine disciplines: 24-Hour Mountain Bike Racing, 49er Sailing, Adventure Racing, Climbing, Kayaking, Kiteboarding, Outrigger Canoeing, Trail Running and Windsurfing.
