After a long hiatus, the Rebel Yell has returned. Please feel free to contribute any articles; post-race reviews and/or race results for potential inclusion in future Yells. Now that the author of the Yell seems to be fully retired – he will attempt to publish the Yell on a semi-regular basis.
You may be unaware since it was a seamless transition, but, the Rebel website has moved to a new domain and has been revamped. Additionally, Kristy Harris has taken-on the task of Webmaster. “Thanks!!!” are extended to Kristy for assuming the duties and to Thom Pearman for his many years of maintaining the Rebel website.
SAVE THE DATE – The Rebel XC Challenge (A PAUSATF race) is Saturday, September 16, 2017 at Ancil Hoffman Park, Carmichael. For more information, please refer to the Rebel website.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – If you do not plan to race…please (!)…volunteer to work. Or, if you plan to race…please (!) volunteer to work…when you are not racing. Soon, a formal request for volunteers will be sent via email so that you can sign-up for what you wish to do at the race. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated and will help the Rebels host a successful race.
