August 26 Updates

August 26 Updates
Wow! We are really picking up some steam in the past few days, with more registrations every day! We are now up to ______36___ paid registrations, with many others who have either RSVP'd on Facebook or verbally told me they plan to come. Enthusiasm and excitement is growing!

Since this is our first time putting on a race, there were bound to be some adjustments and changes made along the way, right? This is to update everyone on a few things we've decided or done recently.

Bring your Kids!
We decided today that kids age 8 and younger will be allowed to participate for FREE at 5K On The Farm as long as they are accompanied by a registered adult. We will request a $5 donation for any extra lunches you may need for your family, however, and request that you let us know how many extra lunches you will want at the time you sign up. We just want to make sure we have enough hamburgers! 

Virtual Runners-
We will be mailing out your race packets next week. We are excited to announce that we are now offering a photo contest, just for our Virtual Runners! Just submit a photo of yourself in your 5K On The Farm t-shirt and you'll be entered. We're not judging the quality of your photo- it just has to have you in it. Everyone who sends a photo will be entered to win one of our awesome homemade race medals! Submit your photo by adding it to the 5K On The Farm Facebook page, or emailing katie(dot)r(dot)adam(at)gmail(dot)com! 
Just need to add the ribbons!

Volunteers!
We are so excited to announce that the North Star High School Volleyball Team will be joining us on race day as course volunteers. You'll see their smiling faces at the registration table, start/finish line, and along the course! If you can, please support the team by attending one of their games. You can find their match schedule on the North Star Website (<-- click that link!)
Go Knights! 

That's it for now! We're hoping to keep increasing registrations, and we know race day will be fabulous and fun! Be sure to check out the "About" page for all the basics, and the "Sign Up!" page to get registered!
