This is a "no-frills" event that is LESS expensive than 2004. So don't get your hopes up in the way of amenities! (There will not be a same-day awards ceremony, there won't be awards for each single race--only series prizes, there will not be a prize raffle, there won't be more than basic food). However, the races will be on fun, safe courses with a great low-key atmosphere.
Athletes who register for BOTH races by Feb 13th will be guaranteed a t-shirt
Athletes who complete BOTH events will be eligible for series prizes for overall and age group winners: custom wood art by Kent Bailey
Series awards will be mailed to out-of-town winners
