REGISTRATION DETAILS:
o
Registration is
$10 and should be completed by a parent/guardian online at www.flyingpigmarathon.com by March
10. This deadline ensures that
your child will get a matching Maple Dale shirt, which our group will wear
during the event.
o
When given the
option, select Maple Dale as
your school/group.
o
Parents who
register to walk/run with their child will also receive a matching t-shirt. While the Flying Pig encourages parents to
register, if you do not, you can still walk with your child but you will not
receive a t-shirt.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: If you are
interested in being a parent volunteer for this event, please email Rachel Namaky
(rachel_namaky@yahoo.com). As a
volunteer, you will still need to register yourself online.
RACE DAY: On race day, we will meet as a group on Joe
Nuxal Way under a flag that will say “Maple Dale.” The group will be wearing a custom colored
t-shirt (TBD) so that we are easy to find.
If you do not walk/run with your child, other parent volunteers will be
with the group and you will pick up your child at the finish line under the
“Maple Dale” sign.
