We are excited to have surpassed our previous record in registrations! Thank you!
Race day is tomorrow, February 13th. The race starts at 10am. Here are some last minute tips:’
Traction:
If you have any ice grips (Due North Traction Aids), it will be a good idea to wear them, or at least bring them along. With the recent snowfall this week, and warm weather yesterday, we have a few icy spots. We are doing the best we can with maintaining the course, but it is always better to plan ahead.
Registration: Begins at 8am at the Grand Forks Herald Building. Use the Alley Entrance just off 4th street.
If you are pre-registered, you are guaranteed a shirt (pre-registered means that I have your registration in my hand today). Pre-registered runners, please check in at the “pre-registered” table when you arrive at the GF Herald Building. You will see a clearly marked table.
Day-of registration IS available. There is a separate registration table for those who are not yet registered. Please go to that table when you arrive on Saturday morning. Registration opens at 8am. I would suggest getting there by 9am. We cannot guarantee a t-shirt or bag to walk ups. It is a possibility that we will run out. If we do run out of t-shirts, we will consider doing a re-order depending on how many we are short. Bags are “while supplies last”….no re-orders on those.
Parking/getting to the race:
From the south: Go NE on DeMers. Take a LEFT at 5th street. Take a RIGHT at 1st Ave. Parking ramp will be on your RIGHT). *1st Ave intersects with 4th street which is where the race will begin. At the intersection of 1st and 4th, look left and you will see the start! Please refer to THIS MAP to get your bearings of where I am pointing you.
From the North: Go SW on DeMers. Take RIGHT at 4th street. Parking ramp will be on your LEFT. The race will begin on 4th street. If you’re on the right road, you won’t miss it. Refer to the map posted above to make sure you know where you’re going.
There will be a BAKE SALE tomorrow provided by the parents of our Special Olympians. Everything will be $1 and all proceeds will add to the final donation from the Frozen Feat event. (www.specialolympicsgf.org). Items include cookies, brownies, bars, and more!
