January 3, 2006 Happy New Year fellow trail runners! Welcome to the 18th Annual Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run - July 8th, 2006! 2006 Committee Planning is underway and I’m pleased to announce all of our 2005 committee members are returning this year. The 2006 committee members are:
Please contact any one of us using the feedback form at http://www.kneeknacker.com/feedback.htm if you have questions, comments or suggestions or feel free to call me at 604-787-8097. Additionally, there is a crew of over 200 volunteers that work to make the race a success each year. Without them, it just wouldn’t happen. If you will be entering the race this year, please do your best to recruit a volunteer. If you are a volunteer, thank you. For more info, or to sign up as a volunteer, please check out http://www.kneeknacker.com/RaceInfo/2006/Volunteer.htm. New Entry Requirement for 2007 In order to support our trail running community even further, we will be working towards a new entry requirement for Knee Knacker 2007 of a minimum of 4 hours of community volunteer work. Please note, this is not a 2006 entry requirement, however we highly encourage you to consider contributing your time to one of the other local races, trail maintenance, litter collection or something else of your choice. We recognize that many people already contribute numerous hours for many different causes and we thank you for this. Which brings us to this year’s entries… Entry Deadline Mark your calendars! This year the entry deadline is February 28, 2006th - please make note of the date if you want to enter the lottery. Entry info is available on: http://www.kneeknacker.com/RaceInfo/2006/HowToRegister.htm. You can also check out the entry confirmation page (on-line entries only) at http://www.eventsonline.ca/events/kknstr/confirm.htm - with just over 6 months to go, there are already over 70 entrants! Runners Night and Lottery Be the first to find out the lottery results!
