Dirty Diva and Dirty Dude Adventure Run!
Come join us for the first event of this kind! A fun run that is more fun than run. Be a kid again on the dirt trails of the BREC State Fair Grounds. Talk a friend or family member into trying this adventure with you!
When: February 1st, 2009
Course:
The adventure run course is approximately 3 miles long on grass, gravel roads, and trails at the BREC State Fairgrounds. The maps links are below - same course for Divas and Dudes. You will encounter several obstacles or challenges during your 3 mile run. These range from simply negotiating around an obstacle or other racers, to water sprays and crawling through sand. If a challenge is tough you may be offered an optional detour (we want everyone to be able to participate). Course will be clearly marked with traffic cones, caution tape and spray paint on the ground. We reserve the right to run "heats" for each race if we feel the course cannot accommodate the entered number of racers comfortably. You might encounter some traffic delays as you go through the course, this is part of the challenge getting to the next challenge before everyone else!
3 Mile Course
The Kids Muddy Mile will be a one mile course with a few different challenges oriented at promoting kids fitness. A parent is welcome to accompany the child.
Muddy Mile Course
*Specific obstacle details will be covered in details in the pre-race meeting. A large map will be available at the race site indicating where obstacles are and what to expect.
Registration:
YOU CAN RACE AS AN INDIVIDUAL OR YOU CAN RACE AS PART OF A TWO PERSON TEAM. Cost is $30 PER PERSON. See online link to register or download this form and mail in your entry. Include our teammate?s name if you register as a team (they will need to enter and sign a waiver also). Muddy Mile Registration is done through the Diva registration link ($10 per child ages 14 and under).
Printable Registration
Teams must cross the finish line arm in arm.
We WILL have race day registration but we cannot guarantee tee shirts to late registrants. You must have a race number on to run the course.

Awards:
Timing for this race is manually done (like a local 5k). You will be given a results slip at the finish line to fill out and turn into the timing table. You are not required to submit your results but if you do not turn in the slip you will not be included in the awards.
Teams will be scored separately ? turn in your team?s result slip (after filling it out) and turn it into the TEAM table. Again, your team is not required to turn in your result.
*IF WE DON?T HAVE A RESULT SLIP YOU WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE AWARDS.
Awards will be totally cheesy and fun and will be three deep in each age group ? 20-24 yr old, etc.

Volunteers:
We always need a help with packet pickup, course direction and awards. Email Thomas Townsend if you would like to help out ? you?ll get a tshirt and some love by all the grateful participants!

From Sofa To Triathlete In 8 Weeks
You can do this! Rocketchix Triathlons are a series of events designed just for women, of any age. Geared for beginners, our site will give you the information you need to get ready for your first triathlon or 10k race. Together, with our Rocketchix Partners in Training, we can help you achieve a goal that you may have never thought possible. Don't think about what you can't do, think about what you'd like to achieve and take the first step. Triathlon consists of a swim portion, a bike portion and a run portion. The Rocketchix triathlon is roughly equivalent to doing 1.5 hrs of continuous exercise (average estimated finishing time) in a fun, supportive atmosphere. We have three levels of training plans to fit every type of person, from the non-exerciser to the person ready to take on the sport of triathlon. The swim takes place first in a pool, followed by the bike and finishing with the run. We encourage you to take on the challenge of completing the race all by yourself but we also have a Relay Division for those that may not be able to do all three portions of the race. So now is the time. Gather your friends, family and coworkers. You're not just a woman. You are an athlete.
