Queen City Marathon 2006
Regina,SK

Hi there!

Are you sick of these emails yet? Don't worry, it will all be over soon.

Couple of important things. If you already know something I mention, skip to the bits you don't know.

Race Package Pickup Location

MacKenzie Art Gallery, 3475 Albert Street (in the TC Douglas Building, corner of Albert Street and 23rd Avenue, right next to where the start/finish area is located). We are located in the Learning Centre, main floor.

Come in the main doors of the TC Douglas Building.
Turn left.
Go through the sliding glass doors into the MacKenzie Art Gallery.
Make "swish swish" Star-Trek door-opening sound as you go through sliding glass doors.
Look to your right at the really cool, artsy stuff for sale at the Gallery Shop (or it could be "Shoppe! ", it's that artsy)
Turn right.
Straight ahead are the two glass doors of the Learning Centre.
Go through door.
No need to make the Star-Trek sound effect. Once is funny, twice is just geekie.

Race Package Pickup Times

Thursday 4:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Friday 1:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Saturday 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM

LONG BEFORE THE RACE STARTS, WRITE ANY IMPORTANT MEDICAL INFORMATION ON THE BACK OF YOUR RACE BIB
(allergies, medications you are taking, medical conditions, etc)


NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSURE:

From 8:30 AM until 2:00 PM on Sunday, Albert Street (for visitors, that's the big street running north and south near the start/finish area) will be CLOSED at College Ave! nue and at 23rd Avenue. This is a precaution put i! nto plac e by the QCM, the City of Regina and the Regina Police Service, in order to increase the safety of our full marathon participants who cross Albert Street at Regina Avenue heading out and again at 22nd Avenue coming back. This is also being done to hopefully eliminate some of the traffic jams that occured on the Albert Street Bridge last year.

Please plan your route to and from the start/finish area accordingly. Since the closure does not take effect until 8:30 AM - half an hour after the race starts - I will hope that you will be at the starting area long before the road is closed.

If you have friends and family coming down to see you at the finish line, please warn them in advance of this road closure, so that they can have extra time to find an alternate route to the finish area.
