Below are some very preliminary ideas for a Team R.E.D. Boston Marathon Satellite event are coming together... note.. all things are prelim.. but here is our starting point.. The inspiration of this event is to support those who qualified for Boston, but didn't get in due to the incredibly quick closing to registration. We could make this a very fun alternative!
- Race to take place at same date/time as the official Boston - Monday, April 18th , 2011
- Must be Boston Qualified to participate - submit qualifying race date/time
- Race Name: Patriots Day Marathon - The Unofficial Boston Marathon Satellite Event.. brought to you by Team R.E.D.
- Aid stations -- and this may be difficult to pull off, if we really go on a Monday (which is how I see it, Monday in sync with the actual Boston marathon)..
- Several ideas along the course to mimic the Girls College of Wellsely, the Boston college atmosphere, the start, the finish...
- Awards/ Cookies (thank you renee! ) we can find more food as time goes on
- A post race party
**********************************
As a complete side note... Go Byron Bears Cross Country! The conference meet is Wednesday at Zumbrota... the Byron Boys team is in a battle for the Conference Championship. The girls and boys alike, have runners who surely are in contention for All-Conference Honors! Go Bears!
Tom, I could potentially help you with waterstops for your Boston satalite event. If you could come up with a route that uses loops to come back to the same stops, that would make it fairly easy to provide water, and gatorade, etc. I'd be happy to take the day off and I think it wold be fine to use the track club stuff to deliver fluids to the stops. I'd be happy to help construct a route as well. Let me know what you want/need from me.

Hey Randy... we'll be in touch as we plan this out.. we're not 100% committed to the Monday.. but if we get enough interest, to being tied directly to that date... it would be awesome! Otherwise, we may say... on Marathon weekend.... we'll be in touch! and thanks for the offer!
