I just read an email from my coach about the annual open water race that my club hosts in June. The Chattanooga River Rats have hosted the Rat Race for the last seven years.
The race offers two distances, a 4.5 mile swim and a 1.2 mile swim in the Tennessee river(tasty). The numbers for the race have increased each year.
In the email, he mentioned that we will need to attract more sponsors or get the current sponors to donate more money, because the race sanction fee went from $50 to $1800 for the event.
This isn't a national championship race, so our club will have to pay the balance, if we can't get enough sponsors. Well, that is my understanding from reading the information that has been supplied.
$1800 just seems awful steep for usms insurance.
