Next Meetup: Run for Haiti 2/20
Hi everyone!
While I had announced via twitter that we’ll have a run tonight (Monday), I’m going to cancel it since 1) it’s going to snow (big deal, I know), but 2) I’d rather focus on getting big a group together for the 4 mile Run/Walk for Haiti this Saturday in Central Park.
You can register ($40) for the race here: http://nyrr.org/races/2010/haiti/index.asp
All entry fees collected by NYRR will go to New York City’s Haiti Relief Fund, administered by the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, which is directing 100% of donations to reputable organizations providing relief in Haiti.
More info about the race here: http://nyrr.org/races/2010/haiti/race_info.asp
And the course info:
Start on Central Park ‘s East Drive near 68th Street. Head north on East Drive and continue to the 102nd Street Transverse. Turn left/west across the transverse and then left/south on West Drive. Continue south to the 72nd Street Transverse, turning left/east to the finish line.
For those who have never done a NYRR race before, they have a bag check, so definitely bring some warm layers in a bag to put on after the run.
Times for race packet pickup (number, tshirt, etc):
Number Pickup /Registration
Entrants are required to pick up their numbers, scoring tags, and race souvenirs at New York Road Runners (9 East 89th Street) on:
• Thursday, February 18, 1:00-7:00 p.m.
• Friday, February 19, 1:00-7:00 p.m.
• Saturday, February 20, 7:30-8:30 a.m.
We’ll plan on meeting at the 72nd entrance on the East side of the park (5th ave) @ 8:15 am. That should give us enough time to meet, head over to back check, and hop in the corrals.
Afterward we’ll wonder over to brunch!
Looking forward to it!

P.S. for those of you working towards qualifying for the 2011 NYC Marathon through the 9+1 program, this race counts double!
