Race Committee
Race Director - Michael Gray
(MTG EnterPrizes, Optimist)
Coordinates all of the technical aspects of the race.
|
Registration - Kristin Kotter
(Nampa Rec Center)
This process starts weeks before the race. Every racer fills out a
registration. This needs to be entered into the computer. Each racer
is matched up to a bib number and their T-Shirt, which is placed in
the packet.
Race day packet pickup can be a real challenge when everyone shows up
at once. We also have packet pickup the night before at the Boy's
and Girl's Club.
