Firecracker Water Stop Info

Below is the information that was sent to me for Sunday's water stops for the Firecracker 5K/10K.  This is a fundraiser for us, so please remember to wear something Coon Rapids CC or at least Coon Rapids.  Any questions, let me know,
Thanks
Denny


Race Day Details:

Arrive:

Please arrive to the Coon Rapids Ice Center no later than 6:15 AM for briefing, supplies pick-up and a route map.

The ice center is located at 11000 Crooked Lake Blvd. NW Coon Rapids, MN 55433.

Please check-in at the "Volunteer Check-In" tent upon arrival.

You will be volunteering until approximately 9:45 AM.

Location: You will be managing two 5k water stops.

1. Xavis and the Trail Crossing

2. 103rd and Hollywood

The water stop will have water and Gatorade. Groups managing the water stops will be asked to mix the Gatorade once they've gotten to the water stop and then prepare half of their table with water and half their table with Gatorade.

We ask one person from each of the two groups drive to a water stop with their group of volunteers. Please let us know if that's a problem. Each group can take their supplies after the morning briefing or we can have it delivered to the water stop. Tables and garbage cans will already be there. 

Also, please wear any Coon Rapids Cross County t-shirts or apparel you would like. We want to promote your group as well.

Post Race:

Once the 5 and 10k runners have all passed your water stations we ask that you clean-up your station and return to CRIC. Following the awards ceremony, donation checks for your group's help will be issued at the Registration Tent. If someone from your group is unable to stay, we can arrange a donation check pick-up or mail it to the designated person.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Blog Updates

There are a couple of new things that I have added to the blog in the past couple of days. I added a new article in the Health and Nutrition section on Sleep, which is one area that some athletes struggle with. I have also added a new page section that I will try and put new running quotes every day, or as many days as I can remember. Just a little inspiration for everyone.
Lastly, I added a new feature that will allow you to be notified by email or any new posts that I put up, so you don't have to check everyday, or however often you check, to see if there is something new. All you need to do is go down on the right side of the blog to the area that asks for your email. Once you have that completed, any time something is posted, you will get an email of that message/post. I am hoping this will make this blog be even more effective.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Thanks,
Denny

Today is a Go

So long as it is just raining, we will still have practice this morning. The only way we will not be outside is if there is lightning.
Thanks,
Denny

Firecracker 5K/10K Volunteers Needed

Sunday, July 2nd, is the the Coon Rapids Firecracker 5K/10K and we, the Cross Country Team, have been asked to work two of the water stops. We are needing a total of 6-12 runners to cover the two stops. I will have a sign up sheet at the training runs in the AM and PM. I will send out all of the final details when we get closer. For those that are wanting to race it, are more than welcomed to do that. Any questions, please let me know,
