Also, we will provide some refreshments, but if you plan to use the tent, bring some food and/ordrink, and enough to share with severral others. That way, there will plenty for anyone. Also, if you have a friend or family member who could serve a shift monitoring the tent, please have them come with you before the race. friends and fmaily will be able to meet you at the tent after the race.
