Last Thoughts Before the Run

Well, most of the course is market and cleared, donations have come in for raffle prizes and food and water, runners and hikers from all over town are popping up saying they will be there tomorrow morning... it's almost here! A few quick but key notes before run-day:

Carpooling -- the word has spread so well and so fast that I can't help but worry about the limited parking at the Bozeman Creek Trailhead...! Please post to the link about carpooling with your contact info and neighborhood location if you either need a ride or are looking to share one.

Food & Water -- we did get donations of food and water from several businesses in town for runners after the they finish, but depending on how many runners turn up there may not be enough to cover everyone. Please remember that this is a self-supported run: bring a water bottle and water for yourself, snacks, gels or energy bars, and food for recovery.

Course -- nice and soft, dry, and cleared as of about 9pm tonight. All the turns and trail deviations are clearly marked, as will be explained in the pre-run instructions about 5-10 minutes before the run begins.

Messages to Jenny -- there will be an opportunity to send messages to Jenny by signing a large banner at the trailhead; the banner will also hang at Rockford Coffee all day Monday for those unable to make it to the trailhead tomorrow.

Raffle tickets -- tickets will be available at the trailhead before, during and after the run, along with a list of donors as well as where tickets can be purchased around town

...and that's about it!! Hard to believe that tomorrow is finally here, and that we will all have a chance to run together and make something special happen for Jenny. Anyone with any last questions can post to the blog, drop me an email, or give me a call at the number listed under the raffle ticket info posted on the right.

Thanks,
~Antonia
