THE WINTER SOLDIER

A lot of people are already asking about it, so no better time than the present!
Registration for the DENFIT Winter Soldier is now live.

Test your mettle on the morning of February 24th at 8am as you run along the St. Lawrence facing the elements! 

We're going bigger and better this year as the starting location is moving to:
Cape Vincent Recreation Park 
602 S James St
Cape Vincent, NY 13618 

Just like last year, choose between 10k - Half Marathon - Full Marathon. The course is a flat fast out-and-back from Rec Park to Tibbetts Point Lighthouse. The 10k is a single lap (with a slightly modified route), Half Marathon is two laps, and Full Marathon is four laps.

This year, runners will have access to shower facilities, bag drop, and plenty of room to spread out within Rec Park building. 
Inside, light refreshments will be provided while outside, runners will be able to enjoy a roaring fire and music! The Lighthouse turn around will have a tented aid station to provide water, food, and shelter for runners along with toilet facilities.

Upon course completion, each runner will receive a revamped medal, redesigned t-shirt and for those brave enough to run the full marathon...the highly coveted DENFIT SPEAR, which is also getting a new design for this year!! 

Like I said, "bigger and better". 

The Full Marathon will be LIMITED to 50 RUNNERS, while the total participation cap will be 150 runners. This probably seems like a high cap and that there will be plenty of time to sign up, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this might sell-out, so don't put off registration until the very last minute. 
Prices will also increase, so if you want to take advantage of the best pricing, sign up soon and reserve your spot NOW. 
Parking will be onsite, with a minimal walk to event area. Parking is free - but as you park, I'm asking runners to make a small donation of any size to a local non-profit organization that is TBD. 

For safety, runners are required to have a safety light or strobe attached at all times. And while there will be plenty of opportunities to use an aid station, personal hydration is strongly recommended. 
Prizes, contests, rewards will all roll out as we get closer to the event.

Just as before, THERE WILL BE NO WEATHER CANCELLATIONS* (unless a NYS-issued travel ban is in effect).
There will most likely be snow.
There will most likely be wind.
We may even get a blizzard.
Prepare accordingly. 

After all, this is the Winter Soldier.
