Race on Wednesday, February 15

We have a fun skate race at Riverside this Wednesday, February 15. Skiers are encouraged to wear Valentines Day or Yeti themed attire/costumes, no race suits necessary (though you may wear yours if you like). There will be mixed (boys/girls and also mixed between schools) relay teams. There will be various awards for relay teams, best costumes, etc.

The race location is NOT where we usually ski when we are at Riverside. Instead, it is ...

At Riverside South Golf Course (1010 Riverside St, Portland, ME 04103). Buses should park down there by the (small) cabin. This is the course’s 9-hole golf course. This is NOT at the main golf course, which is the usual location for nordic races with the large clubhouse.

Things to know about this race:

• Race time is 3:30
• Valentines Day/Yeti attire strongly encouraged!
• Have fun! This is meant to be a totally fun event, no pressure, no stress.
• There will be awards and bib draws after the race 
• End time is unclear. Parents wanting to pick up their skier should come to the race - it will be fun!
• Skiers riding the van can call/text their ride once they are heading back to school

A WIDE range of costumes is expected. Previous years have seen lots of red, pink, rainbow, sequins, spandex, tutus, bodysuits, leopard print, (fake) fur, etc. There is very little that would be out of place.

Volunteers needed - Every team is asked to bring a couple batches of cookies (Valentines Day themed if possible, but not essential). These will be divided up and used for prizes. If you can provide a batch of cookies, please let Susan know asap - email to highschool@mainecoastwaldorf.org
