CTC Finish Line Tent

We will once again have a tent near the finish line that will be a great meeting spot for club members and also non-racers. You may drop a change of clothes, water bottles, etc. at the tent before the race so that you can be comfortable before you are allowed back into transition. The gear will be watched by Meredith & Carolyn (thank you!).

We will also be providing Clif Bars and addiitional water to our club members who are racing.
