Lakefair Run - Assignments and Info.

If you are not assigned a station show up at 7:00 at Heritage Park and we will put you to work.

Station 1 - Marathon Park A. Make sure 8k continues down Deschutes Parkway and does not turn into Marathon Park until returning. B. Make sure 3k turns into Marathon Park. C. Returning 8k runners should be directed to turn right into Marathon Park - make sure they don't cut the course at the railroad - they need to stay on the road. Place a monitor at the tracks and tell the runners to stay on the road to the park only.
Clean up: Pick up miles one and four signs and any orange cones in the park and return them to the finish. Adam, Jacob, Zach and Mr. Saul
Station 2 - Direct people left onto the Interpretive Trail and then right when they are exiting. Athletes need to keep the cones to their left entering the trail and exiting. Help pick up cones in the area and load tables etc. Nathan C
Water Stop- I'll leave tables, water, cups, and plastic garbage bags. The table will be set up to serve runners as they come and go. Please clean up cups and get tables ready for transport. Pour 100 cups on each table to be ahead of the rush. Jeff and David
Station 3 - Interpretive Trail - first bench - tell runners to keep orange cones to their left - coming and going. Don't be afraid to get in and direct traffic if they are not running on the correct side - especially during the crowded part of the race. This is crucial because we will be having collisions if we don't. Make sure you are directing verbally and by pointing. This is the part of the course I worry about the most. Max, Nick (Alfred) Ty
Station 4 -Interpretive trail second bench - same directions as station 3. Pick up cones and the mile marker in your area and return them to the finish. Stephen and Tim
Station 5 - Interpretive Trail at corner near the I-5 bridge - this is a blind corner- see directions for station 3. Pick up cones or mile markers in your area. Noah and Gabe
Station 6 -Red post just past I-5 bridge. I'll probably place a cone on top of the post. It is important to keep the incoming and out- going runners separate at this point. Keep telling them to keep the orange cones to their left. Pick up cones in your area and return them to the finish. Bryce and Dalton
Station 7- At side walk in Historical Park - I will put two cones on each side of the walk to indicate they are to run between them. The monitor should direct them to the side walk. There will be arrows on the ground. Pick up and cones and mile markers and return them to the finish. Ted and ?
Station 8 -End of side walk in Historical Park - direct runners right and tell them to keep the orange cones to their left. Help pick up cones in your area and return them to the finish. Gunnar
Station 9 - Just after the bridge in Marathon Park Direct runners onto the Power House Road. Pick up cones in your area and return them to the finish. Ryan A.
Station 10 - Power House Road and Columbia - Direct runners left onto Columbia. Also help pour water into cups before the race at Columbia and 5th. Ryan C.
Station 11 - Columbia and 5th - Direct runners left onto 5th. Also place start sign into my truck after the start and pour water into cups before the race. Josh and Aaron
