The Tot Race (2018)

[Chrissy]

The Tot Race really might happen this weekend... STAY TUNED to the page for updates!!!

NEED MORE SAFETY... sign up, if you're willing and able. Or send a FB message to The Tot Race page. (More details are included in the shared post and comments on that original post.)

TIMERS still needed... sign up, if you're able and would like to help. Keep in mind, you might not get to see much of the race if you help with timing... debbie downer, I know, but just being up front about it.

VOLUNTEERS... don't know what to do, but you know you want to help out? Sign up... you can be placed where needed, if needed.

SPECTATORS are welcome... and you are totally encouraged to make as much noise as you can to cheer on those racers!!!! (You might remember the megaphone from last year.) And, don't forget you can even make signs... they can be playful, serious, or all in fun. (You might remember a certain Yard Sale sign from last year.) As always, root for your friends or favorites or strangers. Seriously, give them as much encouragement as you can! Just remember that those rocks can be slick, so be careful when you scramble to find your perfect viewing position.

If you're going to watch, and you have access to a camera, please take pics and share those pics to the page!!! Or send links to someone on the board, and they'll make sure they're shared. That would be super cool of you!!! Who wouldn't want to see all that awesomeness frozen in time?!

ALSO... if you're interested in some door prizes, don't forget about bringing funds for the tickets. I hear there should be a boat, a cooler, a life jacket, and lots more goodies up for grabs. Don't miss out!

Special thanks go out to EVERYONE involved... in planning the race, running the race, getting the sponsors, being a sponsor, all the safety crew, all the volunteers, all the picture takers, all the spectators, and anyone not singled out but were part of the process! THANK YOU!!!

In case you don't have the dates already marked on your calendars, here they are...
Possible Dates:
Saturday, April 7th
Saturday, April 21st
Saturday, April 28th

A couple of quick housekeeping items:

1: We need to keep deer camp clear Friday night for race team and safety operations. We're sure you're great company and all - and Saturday night, the more the merrier, but please stay clear on Friday.

2: Registration closes at 10:00 am sharp on Saturday. If you haven't registered online and aren't in line by that time, you only get to spectate (which is still awesome.)

3: We work very hard to put this race on, so please be respectful of the park and clean up after yourselves
