• What's the water temperture?
- On May 27th, the park reported it's 63 degrees.

One week until the big day! The current weather forecast according to weather.com is, "Sunny, 83 degrees". P-E-R-F-E-C-T. Here's some additional final-week information to review:
Registration Checker - verify that your race entry has been received. Race-day registration is available starting at 4pm if you are not yet registered.
Gear Checklist - browse this helpful list of required and suggested gear you will want to remember to bring.
Course Maps - Interactive maps are now available to review. Courses will be well marked but familarize yourself with the courses beforehand.

Hard to believe based on the recent cold weather that we are just three weeks away from race day...let's hope the cold weather is getting out of the way now and it'll be b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l on June 4th. Regardless, don't forget to have a wetsuit and remember we have negotiated a $10 discount at wetsuitrental.com by entering the promo code, MBTF2010.

Final week to register before the price increases again on May 1. Don't delay and remember that relay teams may also register with two or three members if you just aren't up for doing the entire race on your own.

Race on the east side of Cherry Creek State Park on Friday night...race on the west side Saturday morning! Up for the challenge?

Final week to register before the price increases on April 1. Don't delay and remember that relay teams may also register with two or three members if you just aren't up for doing the entire race on your own.
