Rain, rain, go away! The non-stop rain from the past week has left Hermann City Park, our usual Race HQ, and connected camping area, under water due to Frene Creek coming out of its banks. We’ve worked with the city of Hermann to use an alternate – and relatively dry – location.
We’ll be using Hermann Elementary and ball field, located off of Goethe St, between 8th and 9th Street as our Race HQ and camping area. We will have portable restrooms brought in for this weekend and will make sure we’ve got everything taken care of that we can. Camping will be allowed on the athletic field area. However, RVs will not be allowed at this location. (We are working with a local business in the area to take care of RVs and campers. That information will be posted as soon as we can.)
We will have access to this area only after 5 pm on Friday night to make sure all teachers, kids and parents are out of the area before we take over. There should be plenty of parking.
The address for Henry Elementary School is 328 W. 7 St., Hermann, MO 65401. The parking lot is accessible off of 8th street and the baseball field is between 8th and 9th Streets. This is just up Washington St. from our previous Race HQ.
Please note: Please bring your own chairs! Our new ball field home does not have any seating available. Dinner on Saturday will be camping style
More updates, including possible course changes, coming as we get more information. A further email will be going out to all participants on Friday, May 3 in the early afternoon.
