Top ten list of things to do for the 2009 DPI:
First race (Frosh B&G) starts at 2:45!
10.) Remember that it’s at Shoreline Park in Santa Barbara. Exit Castillo St. and head toward the ocean. Turn right on Cabrillo (turns into Shoreline Drive) and head up the hill. There’s a parking lot on the left that buses can turn around in /drop off in.
9.) If you do unload your bus in the Shoreline Park parking lot, do it quickly and then have your driver park down the hill on the left in the Santa Barbara City College lot #3 (left at the
first light then left again into the parking lot). Look for the guy in the orange vest.
8.) If your driver comes to pick your team up, tell them to return at 5:45 at the earliest.
We can’t have buses blocking the parking area or Shoreline Drive!! Again, there will be a guy in an orange vest standing on the corner of the intersection guiding the buses in.
7.) Bring your checks if you haven’t paid already ($200) & bring cash to buy snacks & a cool t-shirt ($12).
6.) Make sure we know which e-mail addresses you want results sent to & let us know if you
want an exported file for your Hy-Tek team manager.
5.) Team tents are NOT encouraged. There are plenty of trees to provide natural shade and the
sun drops fast. Save your backs and leave the tents at home J
4.) We should be able to accommodate every runner on the starting line-at the most, 1 deep- but runners must funnel down within 90 meters.
3.) Remind your runners to follow the yellow irrigation flags (STAY CLOSE TO THEM, AND KEEP ON YOUR RIGHT HAND SIDE!!). Those are the ONLY markings
we’re allowed to use on the course other than the finish line. Runners should always be on the grass unless crossing over a concrete path or when going down the hill**. ANY ATHLETE WHO RUNS THROUGH A PARKING LOT DURING THE RACE WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!!!!
**Runners will run down “the hill” going toward SBCC on the right side of the bike path and up the hill on the grass and the right side of the concrete walkway where there aren't obstacles like plants or benches in their way.
2.) Tell your athletes:
A.) EVERY ATHLETE MUST WEAR THEIR PRINTED LABEL!!!
B.) DO NOT stick your number to your singlet. PLEASE pin it!!
C.) PLEASE WRITE the athlete’s number (under the barcode) on their hand!!
D.) At the finish line, they'll be given a place card. They will peel off their labels and stick them to the back of the place card.
E.) The card will be taken from them and they will then leave the finish chute. DO NOT leave the finish chute with your place card!! J
F.) We MUST keep all runners and spectators off the concrete walkways!!
1.) HAVE FUN!!
