Rollerski , classic race information Wednesday  September 13 at Kincaid Park

The women’s/girls race is scheduled to start at 6:00pm.  The men’s race is scheduled to follow the end of the women’s race, probably starting about 6:30pm.  Helmets are required.  Anyone under 18 must have written parental permission to race.  Race registration will be taken at the Kincaid Outdoor Center front desk, starting at 5:30pm on the day of event.  Entry fee is $20 per person. The format will be classic technique with wave starts.  The probable starting configuration will be waves of 4 competitors starting every 30 seconds.

We are attempting to make registration forms available, online, starting Monday September 11 or Tuesday September 12.  This will make it easier to get parental permission signatures on the registration forms, ahead of time, to make the day of event registration process easier for everyone.  Just go to www.muni.org/parks and click on the link for the “Activity Guide”.  Within the Activity Guide, there is a generic registration form which has a place for a parents signature allowing their son(s) or daughter(s) to compete.  Bring the completed and signed registration form to the front desk at Kincaid Outdoor Center after 5:30pm on the day of the event. 

Results will be organized in the following categories:
               Racing – Men (20-29), Women (19-29), Junior Male (13-19), Junior Female (13-19), Master Male (30+), and Master Female (30+).

               Training – Men (20-29), Women (19-29), Junior Male (13-19), Junior Female (13-19), Master Male (30+), and Master Female (30+).

                             The “Racing” divisions will be using faster, racing model rollerskis.  The “Training” divisions will be using slower, training model rollerskis, and other types of human-powered rolling devices worn similarly to rollerskis (e.g. crosskates, rollerblades, newly developed gear like clapskates, etc.). The “Honor System” will be used to ensure the accuracy of sign up in the appropriate division and legitimacy of information given on registration forms. 

The men’s course = 12K (two laps); womens’, master females’, and junior females’ course = 6K (one lap); master males’ and junior males’ course = an 8K (one and one third laps).  The start is located in the parking lot at the top of the Coastal Trail.  The eastern most turn around point for all first laps, is across from the entrance road to Little Campbell Lake.  

This race should be as much fun to watch as it will be to take part in, so please spread the word, and please bring your cowbell to cheer on the competitors.  There will be many other things to do after the race, too.  The climbing wall will be available (weather permitting), at no charge.  There will be obstacle courses for the kids, games,  and lots of live music, both during and after the race.  Come help us inaugurate the newly completed multi-use trail which parallels the entrance road and provides a safe and scenic link between the end of the Coastal Trail and the multi-use trail along Raspberry Road.
