Hi |*FIRST_NAME*|,

We are just one week away. I hope you are feeling ready for the |*SUB_EVENT*|. There are a few unexpected and last-minute changes that we need to go over.

IMPORTANT 50K AND HALF MARATHON COURSE CHANGE

We want to be sure you get these details covered before you arrive:

• The 50k and Half Marathon courses have changed slightly; there is a new landowner in the Drum Creek area south of Hillcrest, and they have asked that we reroute the course a little bit – they have been very helpful, and we are happy to comply
• The good news is that the route has a little less climbing
• The even better news is that you are going to get WET WET WET! The trail is wet. Don’t worry, you are not made of sugar.
• Please do not train on this route before the race; we need everyone to respect their privacy. We are very fortunate that they have allowed us to continue crossing the land, and we appreciate their support.
• The updated GPX files and Google Map on the website: https://www.sinistersports.ca/sinister7/course

CAMPING CHANGES

For those who are planning to use the dry campground outside of Blairmore, we have a few changes here as well. We were informed late last week that part of the area is no longer available due to new restrictions from a corporate landowner. We already had the Pass Powderkeg Ski Area parking lot as a backup location, and we are going to be using it more than expected. The PPK lot has mostly RV-friendly sites, and a few random tenting spots. We are going to be reaching out to a number of the registered campers to try and divert them to this site early, then we will email a confirmation as to which site everyone should use. PPK has amazing views of the valley, so you should be happy if you are picked to go there. Next year we ask people to pick in advance.

VOLUNTEERS MAKE LIFE BETTER!

We still need a few more spots filled, so remind family and friends We make the experience fun for them too, and we have great swag, just for volunteers. We have great swag lined up - anyone who volunteers out on the racecourse gets a soft flask and custom quick-dry towel, which are in addition to the meal, shirt and other perks.
