Very, Very, Very, Super Very IMPORTANT EVENT INFORMATION:

1.  All participants and spectators are to enter the park through the MAINTENANCE DRIVE ENTRANCE (which is approx 100 yards east of the main park drive on S. River Rd).  NO VEHICLES WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE PARK AFTER 7:00am.  This is to ensure the safety of the cyclists exiting the park.  If spectators are coming to view the event, all vehicles MUST in the park by 7:00am.  PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO ARE COMING TO WATCH!

2.  NO DOGS permitted.  The CHaMP CHuMPS love doggies, but they are not allowed at the beach or on the grounds.  This is a health department thingie, and they set the rules!

3.  Good News!  The 10:00am curfew/kick-y'all-out-of-the-park thing has been lifted!  For those of you that have raced this event in the past, you know that the we had to clear the park out by opening time which was 10:00am. But not anymore!!!  Due to a change in the park hours, you will not be rushed out of the park and can stay and enjoy the day!  (there will be an admission to swimming, however...not a CHAMP-thing, but a metroparks thing :(
