Some last last minutes items:

10am - 1pm Final donation drop off inside Old Government House
1:15 pm Opening Ceremonies
1:55 Warm Up
2:00 Start of Run - this is the gun shot.
3:15 Awards Ceremony and final total.

If you are planning to be first across the finish line please line up on the road before the warm up. If you want to really Run the Run :)

There will be Security posted at all the doors of Old Government House, we are getting to be too large of a crowd to be allowed inside the house. There will be extra extra porta potties this year. Everyone is welcome to come back during regular OGH tour hours to view the inside.

There are no change facilities (other then a porta potty) so plan accordingly.

There is no locked storage so plan accordingly.

Please arrange a meeting place - at the gate, beside a tree, at the front steps, outside the hedge, in the parking lot. Not the flagpole because there are two sets of them :)

Water and a snack are provided by our generous sponsors.

Thanks again for all your hard work and determination, it has been my pleasure talking to\emailing all the team captains for 2006.

Have a great time on Run Day, you deserve it.

Wrapping things up:

FORMS-
There are two forms, registration form and donation form.
Team members who sign up online and pay online, do NOT have any forms to give you.
Team members who are paying the registration fee $35 with cash, need to take a registration form to the bank with them (even if they have registered online).
Team members who are getting "free" registration via collecting donations, have a donation form.

Donation forms should be taken along with the donation money to any CIBC branch. Any teller can help you.
They will bank stamp your form and give it back to you.
Give the form to your team captain.

BANK
Any branch of the CIBC can help you, any teller, unless a sign is posted otherwise.
Don't wait until the last day.

CAPTAINS
Collect as many forms as you can before you come to get your shirts.
Send people with money to the bank, or take it to the bank for them.
Bring your forms to Riverview Ford at the times specified. We trade forms for t-shirts.


However there will always be people who don't bring their forms. That's OK, bring what you have to t-shirt pick up. Bring the rest on Run day. We are located inside Old Government House the morning of the Run. We don't encourage waiting until the last minute though :)

SHIRT PICK UP TIMES
Riverview Ford, corner of hanwell and prospect
Thursday Sept 28 5pm - 8pm
Friday Sept 29 10am - 6pm
Saturday Sept 30 10am - 3pm

SURVIVORS

Pink Survivor shirts are available at the Survivor tent on Run day. We encourage survivors to visit the tent as there is information, snacks, shirts and special prizes for survivors. They do not have to wear their shirt on Run day. They do not have to bring proof that they are a survivor.



Sincere thank you for all your support and time and efforts. Without Captains to cajole, coax, and corral people, the Run simply would not be as successful as it is. What we do today will bring about a better future for everyone.

TEAM CRUNCH!

A few points to hopefully help everyone:

September 15 is the printed team shirt deadline. The Run gives teams the opportunity to have their team name printed across the back shoulders of the run tshirt. You can still be a team without the printed name, so don't fret if you don't make the printed shirt deadline. You will still get shirts.

If you don't have enough team members, go to the Individual registration and then print your "mini" team name on the back with a fabric marker or otherwise decorate yourselves as a team. This also works for teams who didn't make the printed shirt deadline.

Submitting for a printed shirt is a promise or agreement that you will meet the "qualifications" by September 30, you do not have to have deposited any money so far or even raised any money. However you are agreeing to do so. The "qualifications" include raising $150 in donations OR paying $35 fee.

That is why we ask that team captains verify that all their team members are on their way towards their fundraising goals.

Money can be deposited at any time at any CIBC branch. Money must be all deposited before you come to Riverview Ford to get your t-shirts. Money can be deposited by either the team captain or the team member (whoever has the form and the money).
