City of Centerville Parks & Recreation Committee August 1, 2012 • Some areas of the route are too narrow for in -line skate racers to pass each other; • Runners run for personal accomplishment; skaters are racing to win, so there are different safety considerations; • Helmets for in -line skaters had not been required; they will be a requirement in 2013; • Water was available in 4 oz. bottles and also from cups from jugs /coolers; • Need to cover the Anoka County Parks "4 mile" marker sign as it caused confusion for the racers; • A survey was posted on the website for feedback from the participants; • Chairperson Branch sends each participant a thank you note for participating and next year reminder notes will be sent to inform them of the 2013 event; • The timing clock needs to be left up for the finish of the kids race; also a chute is needed for 2013; • The majority of participants entered the last couple of days to take advantage of the $20.00 registration fee; not many purchased the shirt for the additional $10; • Additional time is needed for event set up & a check list for all supplies.
