Thank you to all of last year's participants who filled out the online survey that was sent to them. The information you provided will help us to improve our race and continue to refine it until we truly have a world class event.

Here is a partial list of items that will be new for 2011 (this list may be periodically updated):

• New registration service: We are going to try imAthlete for this year's registration due to a handful of complaints about Active.Com.
• Better parking: We are currently working on a parking/shuttle plan that will alleviate much of our parking issues.
• Bigger sponsor expo: Racers and spectators alike enjoyed visting with our sponsors in 2010. This year we will have more.
• A TOP SECRET surprise: To be announced soon!

Here is what was new for the 2010 race and will continue for 2011:

• Guaranteed Shirts for All: We have capped the 10K race at 800 entrants and everyone will get a shirt.
• Registrant Count: Our website will indicate how many people are registered for the 10K and there will be a list of entrants. This will be updated nightly.
• Eco-Friendly: We will be using cups from Eco-Products and have recycling stations. Additionally, the only way to register for the 10K will be through Active.Com in order to limit our paper usage.
• More water: There will an additional water stop at 5.7 miles and plenty of water and cups just after the finish line.
• Better sound: The starting line sound-system will be much larger and pre-race announcements will be shorter.
• More bathrooms: There will be additional bathroom facilities.
• Better mile markers and time callers: We will have VERY OBVIOUS mile markers and split callers at each mile this year.
• New start time for kids race: In order to alleviate congestion at the finish line, the food and drink lines, and to allow parents to both run the 10K AND watch/run the Hill Climb with their child, the kids race has been moved to 8:30 a.m.
