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!
