Pre-Race Meeting/Dinner - 10K Swimmers!


There will be a MANDATORY pre-race dinner/safety meeting on the evening of Saturday August 9 at 6pm for 10K swimmers and 10K paddlers. The goal of this meeting is the following:

Meeting Location/Date:

The Pre-Race Safety Meeting/Dinner is being held at First United Methodist Church in Fort Collins. The address, date and time are below:

Date:
Saturday, August 9, 2008
Time:
Check-in: 5pm
Dinner: 6pm (ALL swimmers and paddlers must be checked in before 6pm!)
Orientation: 6:30pm
Location:
First United Methodist Church
1005 Stover
Fort Collins, CO.

At the checkin, you must show your USMS Registration card, or if you have paid the one-day event fee. You will be asked to sign the required waiver forms (I know, I know you already did this, but we need the hard copy signed in our presence.) You will get your goodie bag and have dinner with your paddler (and guests if you signed up for them). Then a fun and serious evening will start. The most important phase will be the detailed instructions on where to report in the morning and all the safety regulations.

Directions

Directions assume you are coming from I-25 either Northbound from Denver or Southbound from Cheyenne. Exit I-25 at the Prospect Avenue exit. Turn west (towards the mountains) onto Prospect. Continue driving west for about 3.5 miles. You will pass Lemay Avenue and go 4 blocks further west. Then turn right (north) on to Stover. Drive 4 blocks north and turn into the parking lot and enter the south door of the church.

Maps of the race course and town are available on the maps page. The map of Fort Collins shows the location of the pre-race dinner as well (look for the green star in the upper right center of the map).
