FOR BOTH DATES
Pre Race: The night before the race we'll do a potluck style dinner at the Camp Moran Main Lodge
Post Race: We'll have a post race meal and party with fresh, hot, homemade food, drinks including local micro-brew and live music.
Lodging: We'll have Camp Moran, the park's retreat center, to ourselves from Friday at 1pm to Sunday at noon. At our disposal is the main lodge which has a large commercial kitchen (stocked with dishes, pots, pans, walk-in refrigerator, freezer, etc.) and large open room with tables and chairs for eating and it's the space we use for runner check-in and the post race meal/party. Runners, their guests, and the volunteers all sleep together in bunkhouses that sleep 8-14 people. (Click for more info)
T-Shirts: The last 3 years I've scoured the local thrift stores to find the best shirts, sweat shirts, vests, jackets, etc. and had the race logo printed on them by Wild Bill Graphics. The idea was to promote reuse and to conserve resources and it ended up being lots of fun for me, Wild Bill and all the runners so I'm definitely doing it again this year!
