On Site Services
- Water – Harrison has installed a water bottle refill station on the side of the new washroom facility by Racer Village (click here for exact location). As a result, bottled water will not be available any more from the Festival. Please remember to bring your own reusable water bottle to reduce our event’s impact on the environment.
- Medals will be presented after each division’s final race for gold, silver, and bronze in the plaza. Please ask our volunteers for directions if you require assistance.
- The festival is pleased to once again support the local Agassiz-Harrison Community Services Food Bank. They will have a canoe on-site to accept food donations, and will also accept cash donations at our HQ tent. Please help them make a difference for the community.
