Picture of location of aid station (make sure you check this link out!) 

Station Captain: Advisor Christiana 

(don't expect quick response times in the morning as set up time is busy!). 

Parking is limited so please carpool or get a ride if you can. If you do drive, there is very limited  parking available in the parking lot behind the aid station (see the linked picture above) and you will not be able to move your vehicle until the roads open again. Please look at the map linked above. There is also parking in the residential neighborhoods above and below Fair Oaks Blvd. Be mindful of driveways and other posted parking restrictions. Do not park in the Loehmann's Plaza shopping center unless you want your car towed. 

Schedule:

• Crew Arrival – 6:45am (do not be early and do not be late, there will be road closures so be sure to leave time to navigate around them)
• Estimated End of Event – 12:30pm
• El Dorado Delegates get 9 points for full attendance.
  • If you cannot attend and do not let us know in advance, you will lose 5 points. 

What to expect:

• You will be filling and handing out cups of water and sports drink. 
• It will be cold! The weather will be in the low 50s. This event will be held RAIN OR SHINE and is entirely outdoors. Make sure to bring lots of layers and warm gloves. Better to bring a layer you don't need rather than wish you had brought one.
• Wear your Delegation Sweatshirt!
• You will get wet! The runners have a habit of throwing their water cups towards you, the ground, and the trash cans. There can be splash back on you. Please make sure that you are dressed appropriately.
• You can bring cowbells, jingle bells, and make signs to cheer on the runners. We can win prize money for having the most spirited and/or cleanest Aid Station on the course! We'll have some speakers there this year as well. If you'd like to bring a playlist (on something that can bluetooth itself to the speaker), feel free IF the playlist is Y-rated and motivational for the runners! (Think upbeat, fun, and festive!)
• No sandals or open-toe shoes. It will be wet, dark, and we don't want delegates injuring themselves. 
• Bring a flashlight or headlamp. We will be there very early in the morning and it will be dark. The course streets may not be fully closed so you must be visible and stay aware of your surroundings. To make sure that you can see and are safe make sure to have a light source. 
• Bring some food. There will be no food provided at the aid station and no breaks to go and get something, so eat before you arrive and bring some granola bars with you!
• New This Year: all water and Nuun cups are compostable so we'll be making extra sure only water and Nuun cups go in the cup waste boxes and we keep other non-compostable trash out of them. 
• Make sure you communicate pick-up times and instructions to your rides  if you are not driving yourself.  Share road closure info as necessary. 
• As we may have mentioned, you're expected to show up at 6:45 and stay for the duration of the event. #liveyourvalues #responsibility #dedication
