Volunteers

We need a few volunteers please to help the commissaires at the finish line and with registration (10:30-2:00). Ideally we'll split those jobs up so you'll only be needed for about 2 hours and we'll try to ensure that if your child or significant other is racing that you'll be able to see the end of their race.
Please email me at gsewell at mts dot net if you can help out.

Registration

Registration will open at 10:30 and close 30 minutes prior to your race. As soon as registration closes I will post the updated seeding list for your race. Please see below for important information about seeding for this race.

Seeding

With the last points available to propel you to the front of the cyclocross cup you'll want to be seeded as far up as possible.

As there is no pre-reg, seeding will be done the old fashioned way: you'll need to initial the TWO seeding lists by your name at registration. Marshalling will take place 10 minutes before your scheduled start time. One of the lists will be posted ahead of marshalling to give you an idea of what row you are in.

Sorry we need to keep this tight. If you don't initial the seeding lists because;

• You forgot - you'll get to start from the back
• You couldn't find the list - you'll get to start from the back
• You missed marshalling - you'll get to start from the back
• You thought someone said you don't need to sign the seeding sheet- you'll get to start from the back
• You thought we weren't seeding - you'll get to start from the back
• Anything else - well you get the idea

CrossTastic 2014 is TurkeyCross

CrossTastic has moved from it's traditional weekend this year to accommodate Cyclocross Nationals. This is the Saturday of the long weekend so we're keeping it tight and focused and going to run it throwdown style (meaning we need help from the community; set-up, race, tear down, and we're outta there). With lots of hands it'll seem like nothing at all.

Traditionally cyclocross is very community based and we need volunteers to make it happen this year; the equivalent of three volunteers from 11:00 till about 3:30 to help with registration and to help the commissaires with the finish line. Each position can be shared amongst people.

This year it's all about the racing. Get in, have an awesome race, and get out so there's lots of time for the weekend. This will also be the last of the five cyclocross cup races. There will be no pre-reg. Just $20 cash at the desk. All proceeds will go to support Cyclocross Nationals. Sorry, there's no open race this year. You need a licence.

Whittier Park is the last original local cross venue and the longest continuously running Manitoba cyclocross race.

More details to follow.
