All athletes are strongly advised to attend the pre-race informational meeting on Friday night before race day at 6:00pm at the city park band shell. If you have specific questions regarding the race/course, bring them to the pre-race meeting. Make sure you know the course! The course will be well marked, but knowing the course ahead of time will help you greatly.
