Hello 12 Hour Krista Griesacker Memorial Racers!!

Well, we're down to the final week and here's some of the low down for this weekend.

Yes, it will be hot! Yes, the water levels will probably be low...so pray to the rain gods! Other than that, we have an awesome course set up for you!

We are still in need of more volunteers. If you drag a friend or loved one along to help out---not only will they get fun in the sun ( or rain), you will get 20% off your next GOALS ARA race! Please let me know ahead of time so I can plug them into the race.

1. Check in is Friday 8/8 starting at 6pm. TEAM MEETING 8:45PM. If for some reason your team, or at least a representative from your team cannot get there by 8:45, please let us know ahead of time.

2. Course is designed rogaine style, you will be competing for points. This means more team work and decision making on your part as to which checkpoints your team will go to. Be prepared to potentially stay on the race course until 6:30 pm.

3. There will not be a central transition area for this race. That means you will be carrying everything with you for the entire race. We will transport paddles and PFD's only. We will not be transporting throw bags and bailers.

4. All team members will rappel, there is no ascending in this year's race.

5. Due to some donations from FEMA, the Civil Air Patrol parking lot has space limitations. Please come in one team vehicle, as parking will be limited.

6. Teams are welcome to camp at the CAP base. There is a pavilion or you can pitch a tent. Rustic conditions.

7. RV's are OK to bring, but there are no hook ups. Let us know ahead of time if you are bringing one so we can reserve space.

8. Please have exact change or a check made out for $8.00 to USARA for their race licence fee.

9. Please make every effort to raise at least $50 for the CAP Search and Rescue School. They have many wonderful projects they're working on and could use all the help they can get!

Should you have any questions we can be reached at this email and office phone of 866-338-5167 until Friday morning 8/8. Friday evening and race weekend we can be reached at CAP base at 610-756-4170.
