Cleaning up muddy runners

For your post-race clean up, you can use the out­door show­ers located at Panorama Park. There are also shower facil­i­ties at Park­gate Com­mu­nity Centre (there’s a small fee, payable at the front desk). If you opt to clean up at Park­gate, please clean off mud before you use their show­ers as any mud will clog their drain systems.

Banquet RSVP for runners and volunteers

The Race Ban­quet on Sat­ur­day evening is a very spe­cial part of the Knee Knacker and we really encour­age all par­tic­i­pants, vol­un­teers, family and friends to attend.

If you’re a runner:

  • Your race pack­age will include ONE free ticket to the banquet.
  • You must RSVP by Wednes­day, July 6 by 9 a.m. to Bev McKenna (mckenna7@telus.net). Please indi­cate how many people — includ­ing your­self — are coming to the ban­quet. This ensures that there will be enough food and room for you and your guests and it is extremely important!!
  • You can pickup your guest’s tick­ets at Packet Pickup or at the ban­quet. As long as you RSVP’d, your spots are confirmed.

If you’re a vol­un­teer:

  • Please tell your cap­tain or co-ordinator if you’re attend­ing the ban­quet by Monday, July 4. You will receive a free dinner ticket from your cap­tain or coordinator.

If you have any ques­tions, please con­tact Bev McKenna at mckenna7@telus.net.

Food, food, food!

As a newbie on the Knee Knacker Race Com­mit­tee, I am delighted to announce that the ban­quet menu has been final­ized.  As in pre­vi­ous years, Tommy’s Cater­ing will be pro­vid­ing us with their excel­lent ser­vice and deli­cious food. This year’s menu includes three dif­fer­ent salads, bar­be­qued chicken, veg­e­tar­ian options and veg­eta­bles. I’m sure all run­ners will leave the ban­quet sat­is­fied and delighted with the meal! I look for­ward to pro­vid­ing you with a won­der­ful ban­quet dinner on July 9!

Race Banquet — RSVP by Wednesday!

Hi, every­one!

Are you coming to dinner after the race? Well of course you are — gotta refuel after all that run­ning! Besides a great dinner from Tommy’s Cater­ing, there’s also a slideshow, door prizes (swag!), dessert, and of course, the awards. And as a runner or vol­un­teer, it’s all free! (Well, not quite — drinks aren’t free.) More infor­ma­tion about the ban­quet can be here. So RSVP to me by the end of Wednes­day, July 7. Your RSVP helps me ensure that we have enough for everyone.

Andrew (Ban­quet Co-ordinator)
