May 9, 2010 Update:

You should have already received your racing bib! Contact me ASAP if you have not yet received your racing bib in the mail. I will be traveling to S.F. next Friday, May 14., and I can pick up your bib for you. You will not be able to pick up your racing bib before the race.

We will be traveling in a very comfortable motor coach bus with a bathroom (thank goodness!). They have very comfy reclining seats with storage bins above each chair. You can leave your personal items on the bus, and the bus driver will be with the bus the entire day.

Many people dress up in costume for this race, so please feel free to be creative!! It can be a lot more fun if you dress up!

This is a one of a kind, and very fun race! I won't spoil the surprise if you haven't done this one before! We will schedule a bus trip to and from the event. If you've ever tried to get to the start of this race on your own, then you know the advantage of being dropped off by a bus.

We are going to try and fill two buses. However we need 28 people per bus to schedule each bus. Proposed pick up locations: Fair Oaks Fleet Feet, Power Inn/Hw 50 Park n Ride, Davis Fleet Feet, and Vacaville-Fleet Feet. There will also be several runners from Elk Grove that will carpool to the Power Inn/Hwy 50 Park n Ride.

For only $35 you will be transported in a chartered bus (with a bathroom!!) and dropped off near the start of this race and will be picked up near the finish. We should be back by 3:00pm. Tell your friends to sign up for this trip!

You must pay for the bus trip in order to guarantee your space on the bus.

We have a group Registration Discount for our group! Be sure to register for the race yourself

First, you need to pay for the bus trip (by credit card on this site or check mailed to me) and then I'll send you the group discount code. You'll then use that discount code when you register for the race. Don't register for the race until you get the discount code. Email or call me if you want to write a check and I'll give you an address to send the check.
