Please RSVP as soon as possible.  ALL RSVPs are important.  It is possible for a race to fill up before we know we have enough people to go, so early RSVPs are essential. Please RSVP:

• Yes if you know right now that you will be going. We will see you on race day!
• No if you are sure you are not able to come. Please list a reason, if possible.  A No RSVP helps keep the coach from spending time calling to recruit folks who have other obligations on race day.
• Maybe if you still need time to think about it.  Please comment what is behind the Maybe so organizers can keep an eye on your likelihood to attend.

This year, we are trying to give an estimate in race fees to help people prepare their budgets, as racing is getting more expensive as costs rise for organizers.  The estimate is calculated based on 1 mixed and 1 womens crew at last year's rates, spread over 26 people, which is the minimum number we would need to fill those crews.  The final cost can vary if more people sign up to race, or if more crews are entered later (for instance, specialty masters crews.) If you RSVP to attend and then change your mind within 1 week of race day, you will be expected to pay your share of race fees.  It is very difficult to recruit a last-minute crew member, and your cancellation causes higher race fees for everyone.

For this race, we estimate the cost to be approximately $95 per person.  In 2024, the actual fees were $76 per person, but we had a high number of racers.
