Important Notes on the event:

 You are highly encouraged to register on or before Thursday, April 4th at 7pm.  Registering prior to Race Day (Saturday, April 6) will make your time at the Check-in line quick and painless.  All you'll need to do is get your bib number.

If you wait to register at the beach, on Friday (April 5), you'll be waiting in a slow line, so just register now so you can quickly check in, get your bib and enjoy the lake.  

If you wait to register on the morning of the race (April 6), it's going to cost you $50 per racer, per race.  You don't want to do that, so register on or before Friday, April 5th at 7pm!
