This blogspot site is to keep up on the latest happenings and see who's on the team and to find pertinent links to important information for the race. Future posts will have advice, updated information, and just a way to stay connected.
As of now there are 5 committed runners (i.e. their spots are paid for) and I know of at least 5 more folks that are seriously interested. I'll start sending emails to the folks that expressed interest last year, but if you know someone that is interested let me know.
This blogspot will also help our team keep track of basic information -- runner assignments, to-do's as the race gets closer, etc. I will be relying on email for most of the communication to make sure everyone knows what's going on. In terms of committing to the team here are few stipulations that seem fair considering this is indeed a team event:
- Your $90 registration holds your spot on the team, and is non-refundable. So please be sure before you commit!
- If you do have to back out, it's ultimately your responsibility to find your replacement so the team can still participate in the race. You're more than welcome to see if anyone on the team knows people who might be interested, but please don't back out and leave everyone else scrambling to fill your spot.
- Whether or not your replacement pays you $90 is between the two of you... there won't be any official costs for substituting runners until next May when the race is much closer.
Good luck, and get running!
