Having run this race last year, and experiencing the energy coming from the RunningMania water station, it was awesome -- sorry I'm going to miss it this year -- same weekend as Boston....

I would have loved to help volunteer but I'll be in Boston doing the 5K and of course staying for the Marathon!

After having to bail on this a couple years ago, :( I think I owe you big time!
Count me in and I might even be able to convince Hubby as well!

What time do you need us at the water station? We have to be in Montreal around 2pm that day so I can probably stay until 10:30ish. I thought we were about done at that time last time I helped out. :-)

I'm sure you'll be fine to leave by then no matter what. :D
Thanks again everyone. We will have fun!

I haven't decided if I'm racing at minto or not, but I'll try to stop by to visit if everything works out.

I think the IronClan is in!

My mom is in town visiting, so, between the three adults (and bringing a preschooler and a toddler) - I'm sure we count for 1 set of helping hands. ;)

Delilah had a blast 2 years ago:

Sadly, Dexter won't be able to wear the great orange pirate shirt that Jo-Jo bought him (that Delilah wore there at 18 months) since it's been too small for him for awhile.

Just a reminder that the prices goes up on March 15th, across the board for online registration ... $45 to $55 plus $4 or so for registration fees ... :?

Kinda interesting that all the events 5K / 10K and 21.1K have the same registration fee ... a flat rate for all the events ... which kinda/sorta makes sense, as everyone bares the cost of road closure on the course ...

Remind me again of the hours of duty? No way I can race right now, so maybe I can help out again this year. Especially for a Marg hug....
