Tahoe Relay – June 12
Teams now forming for the Lake Tahoe Relay
http://www.laketahoerelay.com/
7 People, 72 miles.
The CG has done this once in the last two years placing 3rd in the corporate division after a last minute pass by the another team in the final leg.
WE NEED TEAM CAPTAINS! Volunteer to organize a team and get a free USCG Running Club tech shirt.
If interested in captaining a CG team contact admin@runuscg.org for more information as we have planning materials from previous years, including MWR funding requests, leg tracking planners, motorpool access and more – we’ll make it easy for you! For starters use the forum to give updates to the team sparing mass emails and raising visibility of the planning and fun to the whole club! This is one of the most fun events because it is relatively small team, it’s on a saturday, and you can get a cabin real cheap in Tahoe to celebrate the days race before heading back on Sunday. This is a truly great race, at a great price, and for a good cause – all right in our back yard!
“The Relay” Teams Forming
1 Weekend, 200 miles, 12 people
“The Relay” Teams are forming now. Contact admin@runuscg.org for more details.
Sailors with a Running Problem returns this year to improve upon it’s 9th overall and 2nd Law Enforcement divsion place from 2009. In addition to 12 runners teams typically have 2 drivers and require 2 volunteers to fill 5 hour shifts on race weekend. Use the Forum to find teammates and get organized – it’s lonely.
More information on “the relay” can be found at www.therelay.org A special web page is in the works to keep our running club teams informed about important dates, training tips, fundraising, and logistics.
Bay Area group runs (free)
We will utlize our sister club, Lake Merritt Joggers and Striders, weekly saturday training runs as part of our preparatory program.
