USAT Sanctioned Event
This is a USAT sanctioned event. The following rules must be followed:
- You will be required to show your USAT membership card and photo id at packet pickup, or purchase a membership (one-day $10 or annual $39).
- You must pick up your packet in person. No exceptions.
- The age group of a participant will be determined by age on Dec. 31 of the event year, not by age on race day. For example, if you turn 25 years old in July of 2008, you will race and be ranked in the 25-29 age group for the entire 2008 season.
- All youth ages 17 and under are required to be annual USAT members to compete in sanctioned events in 2008. The cost of an annual youth membership is $5 per year.
