Awhile back I remember trying to get something like this going because I have always wanted to do it. There was a lot of interest but in usual Shift fashion it never happened. So lets make it work this time!
What I am looking for is something similar to a BullRun event, minus the challenges. It would be nice to make it a fairly long event that would at least take the whole day. I’ll throw some ideas below as far as date/time/route etc.
Event: 1st Annual ShiftRun 2010 (Free)
Date: August 22nd, 2010 (All day event)
This run is basically a huge circle. If we leave at 10AM we should reach the finish line at approx 5PM.
How it works: At each checkpoint, go inside the location listed to get a ticket that proves your arrival to the checkpoint. Whoever arrives to the finish line first, is first, second, is second, etc etc.
Purse: There will be a purse and all attendees must pay $10. All proceeds will go towards rewarding 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
Rules: - Speeding is NOT encouraged. If you do speed you do so at your risk. The process of getting a ticket is only going to take away from the valuable time that you need.
- You may take any route that you wish to take as long as it gets you to your checkpoint.
- Numbers will be provided at the starting line. When you pick up your checkpoint ticket, you must get the ticket with your number. (This is why there is a registration).
Where:
- Start: Thatcher State Park. Registration begins at 9AM.
- Checkpoint #1: Cooperstown General Store 45 Main Street, Cooperstown, NY 13326
- Checkpoint #2: The Beachcomber 512 Main Street. Sylvan Beach, NY 13157
- Checkpoint #3: Gas Station in Cinncinatus NY.
- End: Thatcher State Park.
Here is the attendance list, there is plenty of time to fit this into your plans so please do not sign up unless you are 100% going to attend. Thank you.
