House Crawl instructions:
REGISTRATION FORMAT: In the past we had a bring toonies format, and leave a toonie for your host per drink. This year we are asking people to register beforehand via the Webscorer link and pay an e-transfer of $25 to the 902racetiming@gmail.com to help with the cost of drinks for the host organizers. It's a big crowd and a big expense for the hosts otherwise. From personal experience - pace yourself on the booze. Running and fresh air give a false sense of sobriety.
We will be having a pot luck at the last stop (Spanish River Hall). You can drop of your dish and drinks anytime after 12pm.
PRE-RUN CLOTHES DROP OFF: You will likely want a change of clothes. Drop them off earlier in the day at the Spanish River Hall if you wish.
BEER MILE: If you’re competing (and you should, even if on a team).
See regulations at www.beermile.com before you buy your beer. Please read the rules before you buy your beer - it has to be 5%, and 355ml. Yeah I’m serious. These are real rules.
Dan MacNeil is the current Beer Mile Champion from 2023.. Let’s see if he can hold on to his title or will another runner knock him off the podium.
Please pre-register for the beer mile at this address:

TEAM BEER MILE: There are a number of teams planning to do the beer mile. If you’re keen to do a team event, bring a beer or 4 and we’ll be making some teams at the track.
SAFETY: Remember that it’s dark very early as this year’s crawl is again post time-change. So: BE CAREFUL CROSSING ROADS. Buddy up for safety - don’t run alone. Wear something reflective or better yet a blinky light. Getting killed is strictly forbidden.
ALCOHOL AND MOTOR VEHICLES: Don’t plan to drive home. Walk/run/crawl/skip/cab/Uber/sleep in a ditch.
BARBARIAN OF THE YEAR: remember to vote for the BOTY award. We will be giving out the BOTY award on Sunday night.
Any questions, please let me know.
This is open to any swimmers/runners/bikers/athletes/spouses/friends.
