Cupsaw Weekend Weather Update

Hopefully this will be the last weather change for Cupsaw Weekend. We are pushing the kid’s triathlon back to a 12:00 start. Please be at the lake for 11:00 check in. Bring down your bikes and we will make the call if we have the bike portion or just do the swim/run for safety reasons. The rest of the days schedule will follow with a slight delay.

Remember all activities can only be won by Cupsaw Lake Members:

Fab Friday: The Big Splash/Little Splash is open to both kids and adults.  See who makes the biggest and littlest splash

Lake Swim:  Both the adults and kids swim from the dam on the far side of the lake to the diving boards.  Every adult and child must have someone boating alongside them, regardless of your swimming ability.  Kids must do a buoy test swim prior to Saturday with a counselor.

Kids Triathlon:  You must sign up down at the lake by Friday at 8:00pm.  The 5 and 6 year olds do not leave the Cupsaw property.  Our 7 and 8 year olds must have a responsible adult on the course with them.  All participants must have a shirt to wear during the race to pin their number on and must be at the lake by 10:00 am to register.  There will be adults along the course to help the kids if they need it.  All riders, including adults must wear helmets.  Please let Tricia know if you are available to help.  Only Cupsaw kids may participate in this event.
