Participant instructions have been emailed to registered participants and posted to the race website. Please especially note that participants are advised to shelter in their vehicles in the event of thunder/lightning. While we are hopeful that any storms skirt around the race site, it is possible that a storm at just the wrong time could delay the race start. Watch this space for real-time announcements. And do your "No-Rain" dance!
