Racers, past and prospective - just a reminder, the deadline for
discounted registration for this year's MVP Health Care Bitter Pill
is next Wednesday, June 25th! Spots are filling quickly, so grab one
soon. Here's more on the race:


The Green Mountain Adventure Racing Association and MVP Health Care
want to show you what Vermont outdoors is really all about. Challenge
yourself to one of the toughest, wildest, muddiest 12-hour races
anywhere. Past years have seen everything from pouring rain and
swollen rivers to baking heat. Accelerated cutoffs mean even
beginners can finish with the pack and have a great time. Luckily,
our course designers make it their mission to get you lost and
damaged - if you don't want to work for it, are you sure you're in
the right sport? (Besides, that's where the best stories come from!)

This year, The Bitter Pill has been selected to be a qualifier for
the USARA National Championship - first place winner gets an entry to
Nationals and ca$h to help them get there.

When: 12 hours, Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

As always, we'll be holding a navigation clinic at registration the

drink, massages, and prizes prizes prizes!

This year's party and registration will be held at a great new
location - the Cider House in Waterbury. The food promises to be the
best you've ever had at a race! http://www.ciderhousevt.com
