From Joe Pulizzano and Tom Hepperle:

Welcome to the Madison-Chicago 200 Relay. To many in and around the Madison / Milwaukee / Chicago area, we may seem familiar (as you may be to us!). We are collaborating to bring you the MC200 Relay.

We are committed to making the MC200 even bigger and better than any effort that we have undertaken before. We are enlisting the support of the cities and towns along the Madison-Milwaukee-Chicago Corridor, the Amateur Ham Radio Emergency Service operators (“ARES”) of the six counties that you will tour on the course, local clubs and organizations, and running enthusiasts who will volunteer to assist us in making your journey from Madison to Chicago both fun and safe.

For those of you who want to test your foot speed, we have partnered with the Milwaukee Mile – the oldest operating auto-racing track in the United States – located on the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in West Allis. Finish your leg with a lap around the one-mile oval on your way to Chicago.

This race will generate funds to support the mission of Special Olympics of Wisconsin and Illinois. We also ask that you consider joining The Avon Foundation’s “Need For Speed Against Domestic Violence” program.

We hope you will join us in the 2008 running of the Madison-Chicago 200 Relay.

Sincerely,

Joe & Tom
