33 Days and Counting...........

Wow - only about a month away from race day, and we are almost SOLD OUT!!!!!

Thank you to all of you who have registered to race or volunteer, and a very special THANK YOU to our sponsors and families who have donated! The amount of support we have received is amazing.

****PLEASE NOTE RACE TIME HAS CHANGED TO A 7 AM START. ALL PARTICIPANTS AND VOLUNTEERS MUST ARRIVE BY 6:30 AM!!****

I have mentioned in my last post that the course will change a bit - these changes are still in effect, and have even been altered a bit more (confused, yet?).

Swim course will stay the same. When leaving the transition area, racers will head North on Pleasure Ave, turn Left on 39th St, and then a Right onto Landis Ave - heading North into Stathmere.

The bike route will now be 1 Loop. Upon turn-around, racers will head back South on Landis, making a Left onto JFK, and back into the transition area. The bike route will now total 8 miles, as opposed to 12.

After leaving the transition area, participants will enter the promenade and run South to 58th St, exit the promenade, run North on Pleasure Ave, and then back onto the promenade. The finish line will be on the North side of the Pavillion on the promenade at JFK Blvd.

Refreshments will be off the promenade, on JFK Blvd. for all race participants. The Award Ceremony will be held on the promenade as well.

I will be updating the prizes and give-aways soon, so stay tuned!
