EVENT DAY REMINDERS!

Cell Phones:  ALL participants MUST carry a working cell phone on them during the race; this is for safety purposes.  Whistles are also recommended.

Wait for your team:   it is required that you have at least one team members stay onsite until ALL your team has returned to the finish line.

NO Concession on site:  There will be no access to a concession on-site – so your team my want to come prepared with their own snacks.

Car pool:  Terwillegar has a fairly small parking lot so we encourage carpooling where possible.

Dress for the weather:   The forecast is looking pleasant at the moment but be prepared as we all know living in Alberta - that can change at the last minute!

Bug Spray:   Mosquitos will likely be joining us in droves, bring spray!

Share the Park:  A reminder that we will be sharing the park with walkers, bikers and off leash dogs; let us all be courteous to one another.

Have a great time!
