Reminder We have 53 teams competing so we ask your cooperation in following all of these
directions. Also, we ask that you make your athletes and spectators aware that this race site is an active
landfill. This means absolutely no smoking anywhere within the gates of the facility. There are also
several round containers at ground level with metal lids. These are not trash cans. Please make sure no
one touches these containers. Please remove all your trash. The City of Phoenix graciously allows the
use of this facility and we would like to maintain the relationship.
