It's great to be a kid....It's not so great to be a kid watching adults run around in spandex. To make the kiddos feel at home, we'll be offering a bunch of activities for them. There will be arts and crafts, and Nintendo Wii's set up so the kids can play some video games! There will also be a coloring contest, so make sure your kids stop by and color in Buzz the Black Fly!
In addition, there will be a special pie-eating contest for the kids, to take place right before the awards. Sign up at the Kids Zone.
In addition, be on the lookout for Bonk The Moose, who'll be handing out Black Fly Bucks to any kid he sees. Those Black Fly Bucks can be exchanged at the Black Fly General Store for free goodies!

During Mooseman, the MyAthlete Athlete Tracking System enables spectators up to the minute real-time tracking of location, speed and history of athletes riding or running on course from the convenience of web enabled cell phone, PDA, iPhone or via a web-browser all in real time. MyAthlete will also have a Race Tracking Center at the race, with big screen televisions for spectators to follow you!
Integrating miniaturized GPS and cellular data technology into one lightweight device worn on a race belt, the athlete simply has to turn the unit on and go. Family, friends, coaches and race directors can track the athletes live by going to the web site: www.MyAthleteGPS.com via any web enabled device. The entire system is internet based and creates stored HISTORY of the activity live, while it is being made.
Black Fly participants may rent the units at a special discount at the race site, or online.

Special Awards for the top 3 male/females overall. Out of respect for the other athletes, YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO RECEIVE YOUR AWARD. NO AWARDS WILL BE MAILED.
