2017 Run off the Grid Event Summary

Saturday dawned bright but cool.
There were some last minute personnel changes, but NBARC was able to cover the checkpoints.
Note to self - We should depart Timmies at 7:20 to get setup completed by race time 09:00.
Thankfully, the 50k started about 10 minutes late (no doubt to allow the frost to burn off the fields).
There were 104 participants registered, but some last minute changes there too, 103 competitors took the field.
Base - Lori VE3LOR, Checkpoint 1 - Jim VA3JGH, Checkpoint 2 - Wanda VE3KOJ, Checkpoint 3 - Paul VA3PC.
A volunteer (Paul) assisted Lori with transcribing times, so we were able to track the participants.
Despite the cool morning, the sun came out in the afternoon and provided some welcome warmth to those not
in the shade. The evening meal provided by Gd2Go was a welcome treat at the end - not to mention beverages
by the New Ontario Brewing Company.
I will adjust the map to reflect the checkpoint 3 change for next year.
73 everyone, Paul VA3PC
