Snow Update - I just finished setting up the course about an hour ago.
The race is still a go and should give everyone a lot to talk about.
The snow might make the checkpoints easier to find an orange flag
against the white snow, but it will be slippery and muddy. Be careful
on rocks and downed trees. Its gonna be a wet and muddy one.

Registration 8:30AM - 9:15AM
9:15AM pre race briefing
9:30AM Race Starts
11:00AM Race Finishes
11:15AM Food service (Unos & Chipotle)
11:30AM Awards announced

Mandatory Gear
All teams will need a cell phone and a pencil or pen to write down
information at the checkpoints. There is a stream crossing in the back
of the park so plan to look for route options (Trees over the stream)
or plan to get wet to get those checkpoints.

Recommended Gear
Change of clothes, running shoes, jacket, hat, gloves, tights or
pants. A thermos of hot beverages for the post race announcements also
might be nice!

Restrooms - Conway Robinson State Forest does not have a restroom
inside the park. Due to other activities in the park we were not
allowed to rent restrooms for this race. Be prepared to be outside.

Parking - As you enter the park drive as far forward on the entrance
road and park on the right hand side of the road. Do not park in front
of the pavilion. We need to keep those spots open for the general
public and in case of emergency. We will have a race volunteer
directing traffic.

If you have not already registered through Active.com, you can
register on race day with check or cash ($25). Looking forward to
seeing you tomorrow for a great race.
