Kanopolis State Park
Hey Racers! We’re looking forward to seeing all your smiling, happy faces this weekend!
Here are just a couple more things we needed to point out!
1.You will need to purchase a KS State Park day pass if you don’t have a KS parks passport sticker. They are $5/day and available at the kiosk when you first pull into the park. This is one of the ways that state parks are funded, and they do SO much for us to be able to have races, please make sure you do this!
2.USARA Fees for the 24-hour racers are $8 for a daily membership, or $35 for a yearly membership, or have your membership number available.
3.Three person teams will be in one boat, the third person in the middle will need something to sit on. We’ve seen anything from yoga mats to beach balls, to blow up pillows, to milk crates. (PS…it’s not a crazy long paddle)
4.We posted on our Facebook page yesterday about heat stroke symptoms, those flyers will be going out in your race bags too. Please pay attention to your bodies. We will be having SEVERAL water stops along the course, as well as a traveling water stop to check up on everyone. You will be able to access your vehicles throughout the race, so if you need to take a break, cool down, take a nap, etc., you are encouraged to do so! Long pants, or tall socks would strongly be suggested.
5. RACE CHECK IN ON FRIDAY is NOT mandatory, you can check in race morning at 630 am. DO NOT SHOW UP BEFORE 630 AM, we need our beauty sleep!
Sun clothing, sunscreen, bug spray, cooling towels, cash for vending machines/gas stations are encouraged.
We’ve got an AMAZING course planned for all of you with PLENTY of unique things to see! Take it slow, enjoy your surroundings, and be grateful that we are all so blessed to be able to do the things we do! See you all SOON!!
