Thanks to Kerry for the directions to Dead Lake.
The original flyer is still usable for signing up! A new flyer with a course map and directions is being delivered to the usual locations by Will Wright. It is also available now on active.com. Also, the course map is on our website already. A big thank you to Leon Mattics and Jon Bowie for their quick certification.
It is a lovely location and the county park people are very pleased to have us out there. The course is quite flat. Also, unlike the Tanner Williams course there actually is a shoulder to run on for a large part of the race, you don't have to worry about falling into a steep blackberry bramble ditch.
We will have two containers to gather any donations of non-perishable food that you would like to give. I spoke to Darlene at the Bay Area Food Bank. Bay Area Food Bank distrubutes food over a 21 county area of AL, MS and FL. They would appreciate any holiday-themed food items, like canned cranberry sauce, canned yams, box stuffing, etc...However they can also make use of boxed macaroni and cheese, bagged rice,etc...
We will need some volunteers out on the course for water stops, at intersections, etc...
Hope to see you out there!
