Black front on the red background is really hard on the eyes. I would suggest either switching to white font (still hard on the eyes but easier to read) or flipping your color scheme so that the background is red and your main div is white with black text. Not really a big deal but it might help people with older eyes.

With your links you might want to think of switching the colors so they don't need grey highlights. As soon as I land on the a page the links pop out at me and distract me from the page content.

Great content otherwise. I love, love, love your sponsor page. It is very easy to read and it is really neat how you wrote something for each sponsor!
Maybe you could write something on the challenge page explaining why there are challenges. You never know what order vistors will view your pages so try to make it easier for them to understand what things are.

I checked your website again and yes the font looks easier to read. I understand that it takes a lot of work to change colors/fonts on websites. For the links perhaps some shade of blue?
Thank you for your help. That is a high resolution monitor .

I went with a light blue for most of the links and they look good without a highlight.
