Hi Everyone,

Newly Added: Emily Romero - Blind Athlete age 16, Jim Laundry, Guide, Katie
Rubin - Guide 

If you live in Denver, I will be distributing packets at 5:15 PM Saturday at
the Panera Bread Restaurant, 600 S Colorado Blvd, Denver,
<tel:%28303%29%20656-4800> (303) 656-4800. It is close to many of the hotels
in which athletes and guides are staying. It would be a great opportunity to
get to meet each other if you have not met before. 

Please note for Boulder National Federation Blind Members: We have 2 paid
registration fees that are no longer being used. If you would like to
participate either by walking or running, please contact Deb Conley
immediately at deborahconley19 at gmail.com or be phone (303) 696-9850. We have
provided transportation for the Boulder participants

Please note guide changes: Stephanie Murphy (now guiding Emily Romero), Tyer
Roch (now guiding Kelly), Dave Bczkalo (now guiding Amelia): This was due to
injuries and additions and subtractions from the VI field.

The email includes listed names of blind athletes and guides and race
information. This will be duplicate information to some reading. If you have
any questions, please contact me  <tel:303.696.9850> 303.696.9850.

I have cleared a meeting place for everyone to meet at the Starbucks in
Safeway before the race. This Safeway is in the Cherry Creek Shopping Mall.
The address is 3100 East First Ave, Denver, CO 80206. The store opens at
6:00am. I expect everyone to should be there no later than 7:15am. If I
haven't got your packet to you before the race, you will need to pick up
your packets race morning. Packet pick up starts at
7:00am. (Let me know if you want to pick up your own packet prior to race
day)

We will be starting before the 8:00 am start. We will have a three minute
separate start ahead of the rest of the field. So be warmed up and at he
start area by 7:40am.

For more information on the race, please go to the below website.

All visually impaired adult athletes receive a discounted rate of $30.00 for
registration fees children under 17 are $20.00 for registration. We
currently have 6 under 17 year old blind athletes registered.

Last year was the first time the race had a separate start for the VI
athletes. I think we may have the largest visually impaired field
participating in a USA road race.
