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.
o   For general questions, contact Joanne Suh (jsuh2001@gmail.com)
