Showers
Shower & Changing facilities are available at the private "Hyannis Athletic Club" within the Resort & Conference Center at Hyannis and for a fee of $20.00 at the door. This represents the 1-day charge to use the facilities. You must bring your own towel, soap and shampoo.
The Hyannis Athletic Club will not supply towels under any circumstances and all runners must be respectful of all members usage of the showers. If this is NOT acceptable then it is suggested that you rent a room SOMEWHERE, if this is a priority in your life. The amenity of having shower facilities is a great one today and we understand this, however the COST of water is no longer a minor one for anyone or organization.
Fees:
A multi-colored long sleeve tee shirt is guaranteed with the registration for all events up until January 15, 2009 and then as available after January 15, 2009 and on race weekend.
