FINAL NOTICE FOR THE 2020 POND SPRINT
NOTE: FACE MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES, EXCEPT WHEN RUNNING & HIKING ON COURSE
CHECK-IN will take place at the start-finish line, at Pok-O-MacCready Conference Center (Pok-O Queen), 1391 Reber Road, Willsboro. This is the Camp MacCready entrance, 300 yards beyond the Patch Sprint starting-line pillars.
LATE REGISTRATION: Currently, the event is sold out. Feel free to contact us regarding availability.
WAIVER FORM: The Pond Sprint is staged on both private and public land. The event is, at best, challenging; at worst, dangerous. Therefore, all racers and hikers, who did not take part at the 2020 Patch Sprint, must sign a “waiver liability” sheet.
PARKING: Follow the orange cones to the appropriate place on the ball field near the start line. There will be no one directing traffic, so please help to create an orderly row.
VOLUNTEERS: Please report no later than 9:00am. We will have a support meeting, prior to separating to various locations for timing, aid station and other event preparation. SEE VOLUNTEER SCHEDULE HERE
RACERS & HIKERS: Check-in will take place between 8:30-9:45. If you have yet to pay, please bring cash or check to cover your race fee and supplemental donation. At that time you will receive your race packet, consisting of your number, T-shirt, safety pins and more.
RACE TIMES: See your start time HERE
Full Course Pond Sprint: Two starts: 10:00am & 10:30 (Camp Pok-O)
Pond Hike: & 10K Short Course 10:15 (Highlands)
RACER MEETING: To discuss course and protocol, will take place at five minutes prior to your scheduled start time, at the starting line.
HIKER SHUTTLE: Will leave camp at 9:45am, to be at Rattlesnake Mt. Highlands trailhead in time for the hike and short course starts.
Aid Station: is located at approximately mile 7.25. Station will provide water, GU and bananas.
DOGS: are not allowed for the Pond Sprint race and hike*. Dogs are permitted at the post-race barbecue at camp but must be under your behavioral control at all times. Please honor another participants’ request to have your dog on a leash.
Awards BBQ: A post-race picnic will start at 12:30 at the start/finish. Picnic will be Oktoberfest fare, with Bavarian food & beverage. Staging an event amidst a pandemic is a challenge; we ask that – for this year – unregistered friends and family do not attend.
IN CASE OF RAIN: The Race/Hike will go on as scheduled. Lightning/thunder may compel the postponement or cancellation of the race.
OFFICIAL RESULTS: Will be posted, along with race pictures, on the Pond Sprint web site by Monday, October 12, if not sooner.
FOR MORE INFORMATION: We urge you to check the event web site and click on the menu links.
If you have any questions, please contact us at: [email protected], or seek out race director Tim or Brian at any time during check-in.
