Article From The Saturday, March 5 Charleston Post & Courier

If You Have Not Signed Up For The April 2 Cooper River Bridge Run In Charleston---- sign up now !

 

BY DAVID QUICK

If you plan to do the 28th annual Cooper River Bridge Run and Walk on April 2 and haven't signed up yet, you might not want to procrastinate much longer.

With the Bridge Run just four weeks away, organizers have suddenly put a registration cap of 42,000 on it, largely because of an astounding number of early registrations.

Nearly twice as many people have signed up for this year's event -- the last to be held on Silas N. Pearman Bridge -- than had done so at the same time last year, according to Assistant Race Director Tami Varn.
 
-- Cost: $25 now; $30 as of March 12

3.  Wild West Relay

 

From Paul Vanderheiden:

 

 Imagine doing an activity you love with your friends, measuring your tenacity while pushing your body to the limit, exploring the night, while traveling through a beautiful area under a full moon!

 

The Wild West Relay is a 195-mile team relay race in Colorado designed for runners of all abilities.  Scheduled around the full moon in August, the second annual running of the Wild West Relay will be Friday, August 19th - Saturday, August 20th, 2005.

The relay begins next to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in the historic university town of Fort Collins, Colorado, and finishes in the beautiful ski and summer resort town of Steamboat Springs.  Much of this very scenic and remote course runs through National Forests or along rural dirt roads.  The route winds through Roosevelt, Medicine Bow, and Routt National Forests, and through small, mountain and ranching communities.

 

Team categories are divided into two main divisions: 12-person and Ultra (6-person). 

 

In the 12-person teams, each person runs three legs, each averaging 5.25 miles.  Categories include: men’s, women’s, mixed, open, and masters, but we’ve also added the "Flatlanders" (all team member must live below 2500 ft.) and the "Hash House Harriers (the red dress division).

 

Ultra Teams have two choices - "6 x 1" where each runner does one leg averaging 32 miles, and "6 x 6" where runners each run six legs in rotation like the 12-person teams.

 

The Wild West Relay has partnered with "FirstCall 211," an organization who strives to enhance the lives of people by providing timely, accurate, and caring community resource information and referral to community members and non-profit organizations in the areas the relay runs through.

 

This will be a fun and organized event for all runners.  An early registration fee discount is in effect until March 31^st.

 

If interested, please check out the relay website at www.WildWestRelay.com and come “Get Your Ass Over the Pass!”
