Storm the Trent Racer Update #1

March 14, 2012

 

 

Dear Storm'ers,

Just over 8 weeks to go until Storm the Trent 2012!  We're just itching to do the final checks on the racecourse over the coming weeks - we'll be sure to report back with an update on the course conditions.  If this fantastic weather holds, it could be the driest Storm the Trent ever!  Who remembers the wet and sloppy mess from the last time we were in Tweed? 
 
This first racer update is just to provide teams with a few important tidbits of info before the May 12-13 weekend - we'll send out at least one more before then.
 
 

Racer Information Packages Now Available

Absolutely everything you need to know about this year's STT is now available online via the racer information packages for each of the 3 events.  These handy kits include info on the Race Day itinerary, directions to the race site, course notes, accommodations options, a canoe & kayak rental directory, and lots more!  To access them:

Click here for the 'Hike' racer package
Click here for the 'Trek' racer package

We Love Volunteers!

Planning to bring friends and family with you to the race?  Why not enable them to see you in action out on the racecourse as an official member of our Race Day team?  We promise to take good care of them, and provide food, shelter, an STT race tee and even camp chairs for anywhere they may be positioned!

If you or someone you know would like to help out for a few hours on Race Day, please let us know by writing to info@stormevents.ca
