Time to race!

Pre-reg is closed, and we have racers signed up from 15 states, Washington DC, and Quebec. There is still plenty of room in all the categories. Come out on race day and sign up from 7:30 to 8:30, 11 to noon, or 1:30 to 2:30. Need more motivation? All the registrants’ goody bags contain a coupon for a free parfait from our friends at Chick-fil-A of Boone.

Other news: the great volunteers from the Appalachian State Wine-to-Water Campus Chapter will be running the wheel trucks all day, so remember the spare wheels and make sure you get your race number clearly marked on each.

Come hungry: our hostesses at River Girl Fishing Co. will be selling gourmet coffee, bagels and cream cheese in the morning, and breaking out the grill in the afternoon selling hot dog and hamburger plates. All the profits are going to the Wine to Water Haiti Relief Fund.

Look pretty:  there will be a TV crew showing up for the finish of the morning races and the start of the noon races.
