REMINDER (July 3rd @9pm)

WEAR YOUR SHOCKWAVES UNIFORM TOMORROW!

Important details:

UPDATE! For Saturday the 4th we will reverse the course and run from the Kemper center and finish at Southport…basically a direct swap of finish line for start line.

Parents should still drop
shockwaves runners off at the Kemper center parking lot—we will do our race warmup on the open field adjacent to the south end of the Kemper center.

A quick overview of the race.

Race will start near the Southport Beach house; however, all families should park or drop their runners off at the parking lot on the south end of the Kemper Art Center at 66th and 3rd Ave. The finish line is directly across from what appear to be the church doors of the Kemper center chapel…I didn’t plan this but you might just consider a penitent “thank god or thank goodness I finished” as you cross the finish.

This event is open to all Shockwaves runners, Shockwaves family members and friends. For parents, siblings and friends the option is to run for fun or competitively…we will have 4 age groups:

1- 7 & under
2- 8-11
3- 12-15
4- Older than dirt/Parent Division
(anyone age 16 and up)

During this mini meet, boys and girls will be scored separately and…wait for it…there will be shiny, very shiny medals on the line!

Help we need from parents:

1. Tracking the winner of the first to the quarter mile and first to half mile competition (2 people)

2. Finish line timer and results (2 people)

3. Street art at the half mile—Shannon will provide details but plan is for a group of parents to decorate the street with chalk art inspiration at the half mile mark of the race, which is right at the intersection of 71st and 3rd ave.

4. Traffic control at the intersection of 75th st and 3rd ave.

Let us know if you have Shockwaves family and or friends that plan to run and if you are interested in helping with one of the tasks listed above.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Coach Freese
