OK, how many of you runners out there have done a relay?
I’ll bet not so many as have done a 5K, 10K, half-marathon or even a marathon.
Interested? Even mildly? Or perhaps you’re horrified by the thought but want to learn more if for no other reason than to be reinforced in your conviction that you don’t ever want to be involved with one.
Regardless of motivation, come on down to Fleet Feet Chico this coming Thursday night for Relay Night. You just might catch the relay bug.
Eric Lerude, event director and promoter for the Reno-Tahoe Odyssey, is coming all the way from Reno to tell you about his great event. And Tori Parks, race director for the Whiskeytown Relays, will also be there to promote her relay.
Eric and Tori are wonderful people who work incredibly hard to put on these fine events. I know this because I’ve done each of their relays three times. I’ll be at Fleet Feet, too, along with another local RTO (the common abbreviation for the Reno-Tahoe Odyssey) team captain.
If you’re planning to attend, please RSVP to Fleet Feet at 345-1000 or e-mail them at staff@fleetfeetchico.com
Hope to see you there! It’s going to be a fun evening.
