However, our course is <br /> suitable and we are prepared to do so. <br /> 3) There is a users fee for these events; $20 (adults) for those who pre- register and $30 <br /> for those who register the day of the race. This is a common practice to encourage <br /> early registration. Our fee is in keeping with the common scale for similar events. We <br /> expect children to run in the event describe below. However, if a young athlete 15 <br /> years old or younger want to run the longer distance, they are welcome to do so.
