Hi All
–
Ladies and gents, it’s that time of year, yet again. Yes, it’s time to prepare
for our annual Halloween Pub Run – our fabulous fifth outing! We’ll casually
run about 3ish miles, stop at a bunch of pubs for drink specials along the way,
and raise money for charity. More details are available online (you’ll find a
link, down below), and we’ll have even more information to you in the next couple
weeks. But, we really do need your RSVP so that we can get an idea of how many
fun people to expect. Please follow the link, RSVP, get your contest-winning
costume ready, and we’ll see you on October 24th. [NOTE from your
group organizer: Ricky’s is opening a Halloween pop-up shop in Woodside(!), on
Roosevelt Avenue & 62nd Street].
Some of us are in the midst of training to run the New York City Marathon on
November 1st. If this sounds like you, and you are deeply saddened
by the fact that you are not drinking during your taper and will therefore miss
our pub run, don’t fret! Your organizer would like to see you volunteer to
help, either before- or during the pub run. We’ve supported you throughout your
training – this is your chance to give something back to the group. Message
your organizer for details.
Speaking of the upcoming marathon and all the wonderful members of our group
who plan to participate, we would love to have everybody else join us at our
Queens Welcome Zone in LIC to cheer them on! We will again stand on the Queens
side of the Pulaski Bridge (just past the marathon half-way mark), hold signs,
scream encouragement at anybody that will listen and generally have a grand
time. We also tend to find beverages afterward. Check the link, below, for
details.
Watch this space plus the Runners Forum for updates
and any changes to the schedule. If you are not yet a member of the group’s
secure discussion area, please follow the link, below, while signed in to
Google+, or message your organizer for assistance.
