Wednesday, July 31 - Practice Location

Due to some maintenance at the Bunker Dog Park, we are going to slightly change our location for practice on Wednesday, July 31st.  We are now going to meet at the Burnett residence near the dog park so that we would be able to still use the trails at the park.  The parking lot and the Dog Park itself are going to be closed, but the trails will still be available and we can access the trails from near the Burnett's home.  Here is their address: 13157 Avocet St NW, Coon Rapids, 55448.  Off of Hanson Blvd, go east (towards the Dog Park and Archery Range) on 133rd Ave NW.  You will then take a right at the stop sign on Avocet St. Please park across from their home and not in the driveway.

If there are any questions, please let me know,

Thanks

Also, we are getting closer to the start of the season.  A reminder is that an updated physical is needed to sign up.  If it has been 3 years since your runners last physical or you have not been in an activity in the past, make sure you are getting this taken care of before the starts on August 12th.

Running Camp

For those that planning on going to the summer camp at Saint Mary's University in Winona, please note that the cost will be at $320, which will cover, rooms and food at SMU as well as gas for the trip (we will be using personal vehicles).  At this moment, I am not sure who we will have the money go to, for I have not received a bill or statement from SMU, but once I have that detail, I will let those going know.  Please note, that if there is an issue with the cost or paying all at once, please let me know and we can set up a plan.

Thanks

Denny
