Pre-Race Notice - Please Read

The Cornwall Multisport Club is astounded at the participation levels for the Heather Saaltink Memorial Event this coming Saturday. This email serves as a pre-event primer so you (and we) are prepared for the event.

1) Pre-Registration. Please confirm your registered event as stated in this email. If you wish to change your event or can no longer attend please email info@cornwallmultisportclub.com before Thursday at Noon.

2) Parking. We have limited parking at the school and area churches. If you are familiar with the area, please enter Bethune Avenue from the northern intersection closest to the arena. When approaching the school there will be volunteers to help guide you to a parking lot. Once the local lots are full, vehicles will be directed to park at the strip mall. Please DO NOT park on Bethune Ave, Post Road, Milles Roche Road or Kent Crescent as these streets are used for the event.

3) Facilities. The event takes place at the Longue Sault Public School. This is an elementary school. There are no showers and there is limited washroom facilities. Please be patient, we are doing the best we can with the budget we have.

4) Event Registration. Event Registration begins at 8:30am in the school gymnasium. There will be a table for bib pick-up, a table for new registrations and a table for MADD donations. If you decide to change events after Thursday, you will have to stand in line at the new registration table

5) Event Start Times. Please note, we have changed the starting times and order of the 5km Run/Walk and 10km Run. The 5km Run/Walk will now start at 10:00am. The 10km Run will now start at 10:10am. If you are running the 2km event and arrive after 9:30am, please park at the strip mall and walk to the site, there will be no parking at the school or in the immediate area.

6) Food. Chili will be served starting at 11:00am in the lunch room in the school. There will be no tables or chairs so practice your "eating standing up" skills until race day.

7) Cost. This event is free for everyone. The Cornwall Multisport Club, along with the help of their generous sponsors, are covering the cost of the event. In lieu of fees, we are asking participants to make a donation to MADD. MADD will most likely be overwhelmed (and overjoyed) at the generosity of participants. To minimize the length of the donation line please complete a pledge form in advance, even for a single donation if you would like a charitable receipt. Pledge forms can be downloaded here: http://cornwallmultisportclub.com/docs/HSMemorial%20Pledge%20Sheet.pdf

8) Timing. This event will be timed. The CMC will have timers on hand for all races. This is hand timing so it is absolutely imperative that each participant wears their bib on the front of their body and visible on the most outer layer of their clothes. We NEED to see the bib as you cross the line.

9) Course. The course map is on the website, study it in advance. Volunteers will be along the course to guide you. The course is open to traffic but traffic will be monitored and informed of the event during their travels. Please be aware of vehicular traffic at all times. Since the course is not closed we would prefer if mp3/ipod/music players were not worn during the event. If it is an absolute must please be considerate and only use one ear piece to be attentive to traffic and others around you. The 5km route is 1 loop, and the 10km route is 2 loops of the 5km route. The 2km event is two loops in the immediate vicinity of the school.

10) Thanks. The organizers of the event would like to graciously thank all the volunteers who have signed up, the Ontario Provincial Police, Long Sault Volunteer Fire Department, Stormont Township, Community for Sober Highways and Waterways and St. John Ambulance. We would also like to recognize sponsors of the event including the Ramada Inn, Cristall Rock, Pat's Home Cooking, Xterra Wetsuits, Justin's No Frills, Cardinal Meats, St. Albert Cheese, Rookez Edge, Ray-Jans Construction, Marleau Bros Insurance, Short Line Convenience, Joe McNamara for the great logo and Wendy's.

11) Post Race. Awards and draw prizes will start at 12:15pm in the gymnasium. You must be present to collect your medal (top 3 M/F in each event) or a draw prize if your name is randomly chosen.

That is all; we hope you have a great time, be sure to thank a volunteer.
