Dear Solstice racers
Due to the constant rain in Calgary we have decided to Cancel the Summer Solstice race on Saturday May 28th.
We had hoped that the rain would stop by today and give the course a chance to dry out but that is not happening.
We will issue a refund to all that have signed up, it may not be the full amount but will be close.
We will advise on that ASAP.
Sorry for any inconveniences but we tried.
The Giver8er is still a go so if you still want to get a race in sign up for the Giver8er.
Regards,
Tim Brezsnyak and Ted Anderson
