Please remember that our computers and emails at the NKF of Iowa office will be going down at 9:30 a.m. (Wednesday) and I don’t know when they will come back up – I will email you again when we are back in business.
Below is a message that I received Wednesday morning from National regarding the 5K event at the Games and the differentiation between athletes participating and non-athletes participating. Please read this – if you have questions, let me know after I have email again.
Managers:
The 5K at the Games is actually two events conducted concurrently. The first is a road race, which is one of the twelve sports that are being organized for transplant recipients ("Athletes") competing in the Games. The second is a run/walk for organ, eye and tissue donation awareness, which is open to all other Games participants ("Non-Athletes") and the general public.
Athletes register for the "5K Road Race" as one of the competition options in the Sports section of their registration. There is no additional charge to participate in this event and, as stated in the Upgrades section of the Athlete's registration, the public 5K Race t-shirt is not included. However, this t-shirt can be purchased as an upgrade for an additional $8.
Non-Athletes register for the "5K Race for Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation Awareness" in the Upgrades section of the online registration and pay a fee of $15 thru June 5th (or $20 on race day). This fee includes a 5K t-shirt.
