CHEERSQUADS!
This year, if you cheer the loudest you will be rewarded with some free gear! Got a cheer squad? Be sure you pick a captain to register on Eventbrite; athletes will vote for the winner after the race! 

SO, invite your cheer squad to grab a spot along the course.  Reminder that the course is not closed to the public; we urge spectators and photographers to take the same caution that you should take :)
