Race Day Info

Hello Fellow Runners!!

Just wanted to let you know about some great things about the Fitz Frenzy this year.


First up - SWAG!!!

Last year we had some great sponsors and again this year we have some great stuff to give away with more rolling in everyday!!

Our local craft brewery, Uncle Leo's, is donating 2 Growlers with a free refill!  So, stop by on the way home to cash in on that one!

The Running Room has given us hats - great running hats for those sunny days, raining days, cooler days, or just any day you are hitting the trails!

We have water bottles, gift cards to lots of awesome places and more coming in all the time!!

Our other exciting news for this year is our Student Rates!!

We know a lot of runners are in school and money is limited, so this year we are offering Race-Day Registration for students at the discounted rate.  $20 to run, no Buff.  But, ya gotta show us your Student ID!!

The other thing we are offering is Pre-Registration Swag!!  Head over to Atlantic Chip and sign up and your name will be entered into a special draw, just for those who signed up on-line!!! Water Bottle, mylar blanket, gels and some other goodies, too!!

As I write this, some of our team is up on the mountain, working on getting some of the windfalls down and off the trails.  This has been a brutal winter, but Spring has arrived and the snow is gone or at least quickly receding!!  It is a mountain, after all!!  Bring on the mud and cold puddles!!

Happy Trails!!

Hoping For Spring

 
We are busy making plans for our Trail Run, which is quickly approaching on May 18th.  But, as I think we find, the snow is holding us back!! It would be wonderful to be able to post tons of pictures of Spring on the mountain, but this year, Spring looks a lot like Winter.
 
But, the race must go on!  So we strap on our snowshoes and hit the trails, scoping out where we need to move trees and put race markers.  Besides, we love the mountain, and we'll use any excuse to hit the trails!
 
We are securing our sponsors so we have loads of goodies to give to our racers.  We are spreading the word - please help us to that, too!!!  'Like' our Facebook page and tell all your friends about it!!  Follow us on Twitter!!  And be sure to drop back by the blog to see what's new on the mountain!
 
We are excited to offer a longer course this year for those hard-core runners!  This will be the first year we offer a 21 k course - yep, a half marathon on the mountain!!!!  we are very excited about adding this to this years race - hopefully you are our training and are willing to take us up on the challenge!!!
 
Be sure to hop over to Atlantic Chip to register for the race!!  We are planning up something special for our on-line registrants!
 
Hit the trails, friends and we'll see you soon!!!
