Hi Trail Runners!  Thursday's trail marking went well and we found no issues with the planned route except it was very dry.  Today's rain should brighten up the terrain and knock down some of the dust.  With the rain today I expect you will see some water puddles in spots but the trail is wide enough for you to avoid anything you might find.  

We should be ready for check-in by 7:30 am at the Brewery.   Race starts at 9am.  Here's a link to the course map.

You'll have 2 coupons for your complimentary Rolling Meadows Farm Beer and you should be able to buy more or other varieties if you like.  We'll have chili and hot dogs plus other foods you'd find after a race. 

On the route, we'll have a couple of unmanned water stations where you can grab a drink and go.  Please discard your trash in one of the trash cans we will place after the water stations or carry it with you.

We will have 2 trail bikers and a Kubota marshaling the course with radios and cell phones. If you need to stop for any reason (injury or mis-hap) just stay in place on the trail and we will find you and if necessary take you back to the Brewery.   

The trail is well marked and if you get off the trail you eventually will not see any orange caution tape or distance markers.  That is your clue you need to turn around and go back to the last place you saw orange caution tape or a distance marker to get back on the course.  I highly doubt anyone will get off this well-marked course and even if you do get lost we will find you!

BTW online registration is open until 6 pm tonight and we will accept cash or check for registrations in the morning.

Have a good evening and we'll see you in the morning!
