Umm... Let's see. I guess what would work best is if when we head to the food/fun after the race, if you grabbed it, and met us there. So I wouldn't bring it with you.

Also, yeah, we love veggie chili, but won't turn you away if it's not. If you felt like making a huge label that says "this has meat in it" would be helpful if you wanted to go that route.

Corn bread is awesome always.

Hey everybody, thanks for coming out and a huge thanks to all of our sponsors. Everything went amazingly! We had 76 registered racers, and I think almost everyone had a good time. There were only a few sourpantsies about the few miles of trails at the end.

If you've got pictures, let me see 'em!

Again, thanks to everyone for helping make Manifest Destiny awesome!
