Bottom line, if we do not have registration greater than 250 (and really more closer to 275) by late this afternoon, the race will be cancelled. Unfortunately, we must notify the City by close of business today despite registration closing tomorrow.

For various reasons, our registration numbers are well behind prior years' numbers. Without additional, last-minute sponsorship or an increase in registration numbers as noted above, the financial deficit is too large for the race organizers to handle.

We have worked very hard not to reach this point, but unfortunately too many factors have worked against us this year.

Please share this message with your team members and other outlets you deem appropriate.

Thank you.
