To help with planning, Colleen needs to know approximately how many people will be attending. Please send her an informal RSVP by Friday, August 8, to let her know if you think you will be attending this event, including the total number in your group (including guests). Note that this reply does not commit you to attend, nor are you prohibited from coming if you miss the deadline! She just needs to gauge how many to plan for.

*** MARATHON ENTRY: At registration time, those wanting to participate in the Dragon Coaster Marathon will add their names to a list. Only the first 24 that sign up can do the marathon. Teams of 4 riders will ride the Dragon for one hour each. At the time of registration, each team will be given a time to report for their session. This is first come, first served, so the order the names are taken will determine the time and grouping of your team.
