Dear Prospect Park Registrants:



Thank you again for registering for the first annual 5K for Africa Race this Sunday June 24th! Below you will find directions to the start line of the race. Please note that if you do not wish to be timed and/or prefer to walk the 5k that is absolutely acceptable and you can make that clear to us when you register on the morning of the race. For those who wish to be timed, our timing staff will be recording your times. Medals for the shortest times will be handed out at the end of the event. While we will not hold a check-in the day before the race, you will receive your free T-shirt etc. immediately after the race.



Again, in the interest of starting the race on time by 9:15AM we request that you arrive at the start line for registration at 8:30AM AS OPPOSED TO 9:00AM as was stated in the original email.



Lastly, you WILL be able to check in your bags and belongings in a secured area during the race, though we ask that you limit the amount of valuables you bring as we will not be responsible for the unlikely event of their loss.



Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.



Thank you once again.



Sincerely,
The 5K for Africa Team
