August 2013 Dual Sprint Pricing Structure

Posted: June 20, 2013 by Racer Liaison in Race Registration

The race pricing structure has been updated for the August 2013 Dual Sprint event. Preregistration pricing will be:

First Sprint:          $50
Second Sprint:    $45
Third Sprint:        $40
Fourth Sprint:     $35
Consecutive Sprints:        $35

The biggest difference from the pricing used on the June 2013 Dual Sprint event is that pricing will not reset from Saturday to Sunday.  Rather, if three sprints are preregistered for Saturday, and two sprints on Sunday, the total cost is $205 (50+45+40+35+35=$205).

Feedback on this update should be directed towards the board of directors, specifically racerliaison@cra-mn.com.
