A messaged from our Volunteer Coordinator Liba:

Volunteers who are working on Saturday and Sunday at start/finish area (not aid stations),
Please park in the main parking lot, up by the old base lodge-parking attendants will direct you.

Then walk down to the volunteer check-in table at the BIG TENT in Cunningham’s Lot. You can pick up your t-shirt, meal ticket wristband and your volunteer assignment will be explained.

Please check out our Volunteer Page.

We are still looking for volunteers to help out at:

Skunk
Greenall’s
 
And mid afternoon to evening on Sunday at the finish area

For open and closing times of the aid stations: Aid station List 

Thanks,
See you this weekend.

We’ve had a few last minute changes to the race course and our aid station drink.

The course needed to be re-routed some but not much. You’ll hear about it at the Race Meeting on Sunday morning. The Aid Station List has been update to reflect these changes. And the Relay Team mileage splits have also been updated.

Aid Station List

Food On Course

We won’t be using Tailwinds this year due to an unavoidable glitch. So we’ll have Gatorade for your replacement drink.

If any other changes pop up, we’ll post them here on the blog (probably won’t be updating the website) so check here first.

We also have a few surprises up our sleeve but you’ll need to be at the Race Meeting on Sunday to find out just what they are.

Sunday, September 25, 2016
Racer Check IN Opens at 5 AM
Racer Meeting at 5:30 AM SHARP.

Don’t forget that there will be traffic on Sunday morning. One road in, one road out and road closing once the race starts at 6 am. Please plan accordingly.
