. Dec 11, 2005, (32nd) CHRISTMAS RELAYS, 32nd Annual. 9:00 AM-—ARE YOU READY???
This message from Frank Ruona on this enjoyable relay. Note, that the club pays a portion of the entry fee if you have a USATF card and are a Club member-and that you pre-register!
This relay provides a chance to enjoy good club spirit, a modest distance to run (4.5M), and to extend the social from the night before...
Let me know if you want to run! The start and finish is at the Sunset Parking lot, Lake Merced, San Francisco. The course is a rolling loop on the bike path. If you are interested in running the Relays for a Tamalpa Team, please e-mail me or call me. The Christmas Relays are made up of 4 person teams with each person running one 4.5 mile leg. Each 4 person team runs a total of 18 miles. The Relays start at 9:00 AM. The Club will pay $8.50 toward your entry fee and you will be responsible for the other $8.50. If you want a long sleeve tee shirt your cost will be $13.50. This year the Christmas Relays are part of the Pacific Association Road Racing Grand Prix Series. The Relays count as a double point scoring race on the Grand Prix Series for teams only. Since the race is a Grand Prix Race and we want to have as many scoring teams as possible, one other requirement for the Club to pay for 50% of your entry fee, is that each individual have a current USATF Card. If you have a 2005 USATF Card you are eligible. If you do not have a 2005 USATF Card, you can obtain a 2006 USATF Card which will make you eligible for the 2005 Christmas Relays and all USATF Races (Road, Cross Country and Ultra Races) in the year 2006. If you need a 2006 USATF card contact Frank Ruona & I can issue you a 2006 Card upon the receipt of $20.00. If you do not have a card at this time, be prepared to get a card from me on race day.
Once we have organized the teams, it will be the responsibility of the individual team members to decide who will run which of the 4 legs of the relay. Certain individuals have advised me that they would prefer to run the first or second legs of the relay because they have time commitments to be somewhere later in the day. Please cooperate with these individuals and allow them to run early legs in the race.
For those Tamalpans who want to car pool to the race, we will be meeting in front of the Brew Pub at Larkspur Landing at 7:30 AM on Sunday, 12/11/05. If you drive directly to the start of the race, we will gather at the Lake Merced Parking Lot where Sunset Boulevard meets Lake Merced Drive. Try to be there by 8:30 AM so that we can organize the individual teams.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me by phone-(415) 898-9340 or by e-mail-fdruona@msn.com. I NEED TO REGISTER THE TEAMS BY 12/3/05, SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO RUN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
