Volunteers
On July 24th and 25th (the Thursday and Friday prior to the race) we will
be having a runner packet pick-up at Borders Bookstore in Chestnut Hill from
2:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This is when pre-registered runners can stop in and pick
up the t-shirts and race day packets. We are looking for volunteers to help
distribute these packs at Borders and also to put the race day packets together.
We meet to put the packets together earlier that week. Anyone interested
in helping can contact Mary Pugh at marypugh@mcapkids.org.
Entry fee of $20.00 prior to July 20, 2008 (otherwise $25.00). All runners will receive a commemorative T-shirt. Plenty of parking, with a shuttle service. For more information e-mail us at marypugh@mcapkids.org.
