From the Race Organizer
This is a free event for Taconic members ONLY. We have Taconic shirts and pint glasses to give away (while they last). And free as in electronics. As you can't wear any electronics. No iPhones. No Bat Phones. No GPS. No old school timex which is the best running watch ever and everyone with their stupid GPS watches are not real runners anyway. So what's the point? Oh, it just gets better and better. You guess your pace and then run about 2.5 miles. The runner who gets closest to their time wins. After the run we'll have our club meeting which includes food, beer if you're legal and willing, wine if you need to whine. And the winner will receive great praise, the admiration of their peers and money or shoes, TBA. (note there is one winner, this is a gender neutral race. The only requirement for entry is you need to be a Taconic member. The race will have chip timing (because otherwise much stress) and you'll be scored on net time (not gun time). We'll see you there.
