All of the last minute stuff is coming together and the race is looking AWESOME! I hope you are all ready for a lot of fun and wishing for the weather to be nice as much as I am.

TIME / PLACE DETAILS

The place to be the morning of April 25, 2009:
Dexter Park, Wood County, WI

When to be there:
Registration: 7:45-8:15am
Race Briefing: 8:15am
START: 9:00am

The Address for Dexter Park is 8200 State Highway 54, Pittsville, WI 54466 (Town of Dexter). If you do an online map this will not take you directly to the shelter, access to the Shelter area where registration will be is off of Highway 80, just north of Hwy 54 headed west. You should be able to at least see that something is going on there.

This is a USARA sanctioned race, so if you do not already have a membership you will need to purchase insurance in order to participate. The cost is $8 for the day, and $35 for the year, so if you think you are going to 4 or more USARA sanctioned events over the next year the $35 is worth it (We will be hosting at least one more USARA event in that time).

Once you are registered we will have an area set aside for anyone who wants to get their pace (the distance between your steps), and for at least a short period of time there will be a volunteer reviewing orienteering basics with anyone who wishes.

WHAT TO BRING

Everything on the gear list of course! I’ve had a few questions, so to clarify, all your bike gear will only need to be on you for bike portions of the race. The reason some of it wound up on the “Team Gear” section of the list is because there only need to be one of those items per team. With that said, this is a completely unsupported race, meaning that whatever gear you leave behind will stay there until you come get it.
If you bring your own canoes to the race we will give you directions to the canoe drop at registration.

TIPS / INSIGHTS / SUGGESTIONS / WARNINGS

Be forewarned - It is tick season, bug spray is recommended! For those of you that know the details I won’t bore you, but if you’d like a little basic info on ticks in Wisconsin can be found at this website:
http://dnr.wi.gov/org/caer/ce/eek/critter/insect/ticked.htm

There is Poison Ivy in the area as well, so just keep that in mind as you are taking off your race clothes. One of our sponsors, Zanfel, has a great FAQ about Poison Ivy here:
http://www.zanfel.com/help/rashfaq.html

Chances are that you will encounter wet areas during the race as well, so keep an eye on the weather and bring appropriate clothing. My personal recommendation is lots of extra socks, and don’t forget to change them from time to time.

It’s going to be an amazing day - I hope you all are as excited about the race as I am!

See you at the race!

Minor Updates

2009-04-10T12:05:00.000-07:00

In addition to online registration, printable registration forms are available at the race website for printing. Mailing instructions can be found on the forms.

Also, there has been a mionr adjustment to the gear list... some of the Mountain Biking Gear has been moved to the team gear section to clarify that only one is needed for each team, not one per-person.
