I know many of you have been wondering about the event on Saturday. We have been closely tracking the weather and have decided to postpone until Sunday, Sept. 25.

Rather than deal with the added uncertainty and anxiety that this hurricane is bringing us regarding the race, we wanted to give you ample notice so that you can focus on your own family’s needs this weekend.

We hope that you all can join us on Sept 25 at Hasentree. Unfortunately we cannot give refunds however we will allow, for this race only, a transfer to another person that is not registered already. Please let me know if that is what you would like to do no later than Sept 10. If we do not hear from you we will assume that you will be racing on Sept 25.

I apologize for the early postponement but feel as an organization and parents ourselves, that this is the best alternative.

Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns or comments and we look forward to seeing you soon.

maylene

We have had races there in 2008 & 2009 and it was heavily supported by their community. We are excited to be back with the new management under Toll Brothers which also has developments throughout the Triangle such as nearby Brier Creek. Visit their website www.hasentree.com for additional information about this beautiful golf and family oriented community.

Thanks to the wonderful community of Eagle Ridge, especially the Leischner, Iannello & Nizen families for all their hard work during the 4 years we were there.

I know that some of you may be disappointed in this change and we will be offering refunds or transfers to another race to anyone registered who requests it until August 15. Please let us know via reply to this email and make sure you receive a response confirming the change. For those of you who will still be joining us at Hasentree there is no need to do anything and you will be receiving an email soon to finish your registration.

The course is basically the same distances. The course map and training sessions are listed on the updated website.
