The Mook XC Invite at Alderbrook Detailed Info:

DOG FRIENDLY: Please communicate with your parents that we are dog friendly. I’ve already started to field those calls and it will be helpful if you can let them know now.

CONCESSIONS/COFFEE: Breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwhiches will be available in the morning and a variety of hot and cold sandwhiches will be available in the afternoon. We have a coffee truck coming to serve cofee and cold drinks all day. See concession menu here: Concessions Menu.

We’re taking preorders for teams in case you want to have a large amount of food available at a certain time. E-mail me at pat@ultimookrace.com for these orders.

PARKING: Here is parking map. Bus and spectators will be parking in a farmer’s field acrosss from the east end of the golf course. ALL BUSSES AND CARS MUST PARK HERE.

SPECTATOR ENTRANCE: The spectators’ entrance has been moved to the East side of the property near the parking area. In 2024 we had a big problem with people parking in our neigbors yards, driveways, and roadways. It was a disaster…….and not sustainable for the future of the race. Fortunately, I grew up on a dairy farm, and I know how to herd cattle. Therefore, all spectators must enter on the east side of the property. This disincentivizes people to park in our neighbors’ yards and driveways. There will be zero exceptions made. Zero. There will be many people who try……. too bad. Please notify parents that the spectator entrance is on the east side of the property near the parking. Signs will be posted, and there will be zero exceptions.

BUS DROP OFF ZONE: The bus dropoff zone is illustrated in the Parking Map. One way in, one way out for smooth bus movement. Absolutely no parking, even temporary parking in this zone. If you drive a bussette, you are unable to park temporarily, you must exit and park in the parking area. Last year we had several bus drivers/coaches that did not cooperate. This year we’ll be making a list and these teams will not be invited back. There are good reasons we have these rules. Thank you for your cooperation.
