Great Big Run for Africa!

Hey Ladies,
Sorry to use our blog but I am hoping to increase the number of participants, and/or donations!
It is the annual Great Big Run for Africa! We will be starting the run on Oct. 13 from the Westbank Quality Greens. It is a relay...so not a huge committment. The main issue is transportation as we will only have the support RV going one way. So if you cannot stay with us all day, you have to make alternate plans for transport.
I am not sure if anyone is running this Sat. as we have the Run for the Cure on Sun...but I can make if anyone else will be there! Check out the Partners in the Horn Website at www.partnersinthehorn.com.

Steph!
sounds like such a great run!
How big of a leg would one have to run?

As for this sat... I wont' be running either... I would like to go for a Friday am run though... anyone else want to go?

Hi Steph,

I am interested but I'm still working out the date. We don't have a babysitter anymore and are having trouble finding a new one. I'll keep in touch.

Won't be running on Sat. Hubbie is camping and won't be home on time.

I'm not planning on going this Saturday either. I need to hang out with my family--big soccer jamboree out in Winfield. (LAST weekend for soccer!!) Dawn, Michelle... any chance I could catch a ride with you to the run on Sunday?

Stephanie, running a leg is a possibility! I'm not much of a fund raiser but this is such a good cause! But I'd need a BUDDY!!

I am not running tomorrow either. I need a sleep in day.

I can drive you Patti and anyone else going form Shannon Woods.

Let me know.

There's going to be 2000 people doing this run tomorrow. Will we find each other? Should we decide on a meeting place? Anyone have a good suggestion?

Hey Ladies,
I will email you gals with details. We do have enough runners for you to be running with buddies! The legs are anywhere from 5 - 13km. But you could always hop in the RV when you've had enough!
Maybe see you all tomorrow - I running with the Westside fire group.

Exactly where is Tugboat Bay for the run tomorrow, and like Patti said, we should have a meeting place since there will be so many people there! Any suggestions? I will have my own ride there, so let me know where to meet you.

Dawn said...

Isn't TugBoat Bay right by the grand? I'm pretty sure.

What if we met just before the warm up... like at 9:40 at the dolphins?

Michelle & I are driving with Mel... Bobbie's going on her own... Patti & Alexis going together... anyone else needing to be picked up???

See you in pink at 9:40 by the Dolphins unless someone can think of a better idea???
Who all else should we be looking for??

Dawn said...

in second thought...
I see that Tugboat bay is a little further past the Grand... maybe we should just try to meet up at the back of the pack at the warm up/start line?????

I DON'T KNOW!
SOMEONE ELSE SUGGEST SOMETHING!

You were right Dawn. Tug boat bay is that beach area near the Dolphins (before you go on the boardwalk) I think the Dolphins fountain is a great place to meet. And I think 9:40 sounds good.
So Alexis, let's not leave at 8:00!

I'll be going on my own tomorrow and will try to meet you guys at 9:40 in front of the dolphins(?). If I'm not there that means I couldn't get away from home in time, so have a good run!

See you at 9:40 at the Dolphins! I am bringing Adam, but he has a bit of a cold, so hopefully it will not be a replay from last run!

See you there!
