Thank You! Thank You!

Thank you for another great year at The Classic Race. I am amazed every year at the production that comes off in Layton Commons Park on the second weekend in September. Thanks to the sponsors, volunteers, committee, staff, vendors and runners that make The Classic Race exactly that - a classic race that we look forward to participating in each year.

This year, thanks to our generous sponsors, 100% of the runners' registration fees will be going directly to Heart Services at McKay-Dee Hospital. These funds will be used for equipment and staff and community education to help fight against heart disease - the number one cause of death in the United States. Please thank our sponsors by patronizing them.

Please continue to spread the word about The Classic Race. If you liked it, pass it on. If you didn't like it, let me know why and I'll do what I can to fix it. Part of the reason this is such a good race is the great feedback that we get from our sponsors and runners each year.

Now, off my soapbox. Here is what you are looking for....

RACE RESULTS HERE!

Thanks again for a great year. See you next year. Happy running!

You can also pick up your race packets on race day starting at 7:00 a.m. The registration/packet pickup with stop promptly at 7:45 a.m. to make sure everyone is at the starting line. If you get there late, you won't be timed, but you can still get your SWAG after the race.

LAYTON COMMONS PARK
For those of you that haven't raced with us before, we start and finish at Layton Commons Park. The start/finish area is in the parking lot of the Layton City Offices, Police Station, Ed Kenley Amphitheater and Surf 'n Swim. We are directly across the road from Layton High School. If you are unfamiliar with the area, come early to find us. I've heard that the place is difficult to find in year's past.

RACE START
The 10k will start promptly at 8:00 a.m. There will be a 5 minute stagger to get all the 10k folks out of the way and through a small bottleneck about .5 miles into the race course. The 5k will then start. The KidsK will start after awards around 9:45 a.m. Bring your kids our for s super fun time. They get some great SWAG, a shirt and a fun jog through the park with the ducks all for $15.

OTHER QUESTIONS
Any additional questions, call or write soon. You will not be able to get ahold of us on Friday or Saturday, unless you come to the park. We won't be checking email, phones, or the BLOG because we're getting ready to pull off a super-awesome event for you. If you have questions, come to the park. If you have concerns, come to the park. If you want to punch me in the face, come to the park (I reserve the right to run away). Until Wednesday, maybe Thursday you can contact me at 801.387.7754.

See you on Friday, or Saturday.
