During our Friday night registration, we held a mixer. During the mixer, we registered over 55 runners.
|
|
|
|
Volunteers started preparing breakfast shortly after 4AM.
|
|
|
|
Breakfast choices included pancakes, muffins, bagels, fruit, and yogurt.
|
|
|
|
|
During breakfast runners discussed the course and reviewed their maps.
|
|
|
|
Saturday morning registration went quickly. By 7:30AM our aid stations knew how many runners started the race and their names, ages, and gender.
|
|
|
|
Lynn Golemon rode the course just ahead of the runners to ensure the couse was clearly marked.
|
|
|
|
|
There were 6 aid stations plus volunteers at the river between aid stations 1 and 2. Golemon's barn served as aid station 1 and aid station 6.
|
|
|
|
At each aid station volunteers recorded the runners bib numbers as they came through. The bib numbers were checked against a master list.
|
|
|
|
When all the runners were accounted for, the lists were taken to Ruritan Park along with runners who did not finish.
|
|
|
|
|
Emergency vehicles were parked at various points throughout the course.
|
|
|
|
Aid stations 2 and 5 were co-located.
|
|
|
|
Volunteers needed 4-wheel drive to get to the aid station.
|
|
|
|
|
Aid station 3 was located on one of two hard surfaced roads on the course.
|
|
|
|
Aid station 4 was on the mountain.
|
|
|
|
"Roamers" drove between the aid stations--ferrying runners friends, conveying info on DNF's, re-stocking supplies, and taking runners back to the Club
|
|
|
|
|
Gini LaMaster followed the last runner, carrying a medical kit. At any point during the run, we can track a runner to the last aid station visited.
|
|
|
|
After the race, runners were treated to a dinner of barbequed chicken or vegetarian ribs.
