New Year's Day 5-Mile Run/Walk
Tuesday, January 1, 2002 10 a.m.
Cabin #3 Presque Isle State Park, Erie, PA
REGISTRATION: Day-of-race signup and packet pickup for pre-registered runners will begin at 9 am. in Cabin #3 near the Waterworks area at Presque Isle. There are heated restrooms nearby at the lifeguard headquarters building.
AWARDS: Overall awards to the top male and female and to the first masters (age 40 & over) male and female. Age group awards to the top two male and female finishers in the following age groups: 12 & under, 13-15, 16-19, then in five-year increments from 20-24 to 80 & over. Racewalkers are welcome, but there will be no separate awards for walkers.
Note: The race will take place as scheduled regardless of the weather, with one exception: the race will be postponed if Presque Isle State Park is closed by park authorities for any reason. Since this is always a possibility, you should call the ERC club phone (814-452-1023) the morning of the race if you have any doubt about the race being held. An announcement will be on the answering machine advising on the race status that morning.
RACE PREMIUM: There are two optional race premiums available: a top-quality, long-sleeved T-shirt and/or a fleece gaiter cap (with elastic drawcord and cordlock so it can be worn as either a neck gaiter or a cap – one size fits all). You must pre-register to be guaranteed a shirt on race day. Gaiter caps will be guaranteed to the first 100 to order one. Orders will be taken for additional caps and shirts on race day, with an additional charge to cover postage. Postmark deadline for pre-registration is Thursday, December 20, 2001.
POST-RACE REFRESHMENTS in Cabin #3 following the race.
