4 More Days!

Dear Team,

 

Only 4 days until Race Day!

 

What To Wear – Please wear your team t-shirt.  If you do not have a team t-shirt, please wear either a previous year’s t-shirt or your 2013 Komen t-shirt.  The race bib goes on the front of your shirt.

 

Registering – It is not too late to register for the team.  If you know anyone else who would like to join us, please send them this link:  http://northtexas.info-komen.org/goto/planocure-sader2013.  We currently have 20 members and there is always room for more!

 

Chip Timing – Chip timing will be available for $5. If you would like to compete for an award, you must have a chip.  If you preregistered for one, it should come in your packet.  Runners competing for awards should enter the start corral by 7:45 AM.  Timed runners must be registered by 7:45 AM on race morning.

 

Carpooling/Caravanning – We will meet at the Tom Muehlenbeck Center between 6:30 – 6:45 AM on race day.  The street address is 5801 West Parker Road, Plano, TX, 75093.  Please park in the 3^rd row.  We will carpool/caravan to the Red Parking Garage on Tennyson Parkway.  The line of traffic is always long!  All roads in the area will close at 7:15 AM.  Attached is a map of the course and parking.  If we get separated or you can’t meet us for any reason, we will reconvene at the team photo area.  There are flags from different countries there.  We will meet by the crane that will take the team pictures.  We will meet there at 7:30 AM to get the picture taken.  After that, you are on your own to run or walk the race course!

 

Plano Cure-sader Info Sites – I have created many different spots where people can get Plano Cure-saders information.  If anyone asks you for online information, you can refer them to any of these sites.  There is a blog:  http://planocure-saders.blogspot.com.  There is also a Facebook Page:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Plano-Cure-saders/102153518018?v=box_3&ref=ts#!/pages/Plano-Cure-saders/102153518018. 

Packet Pick Up?

Team,

 

Some people have told me they were randomly mailed their packets.  If you chose not to get yours mailed, I will pick it up at SMU-on-Plano on June 4^th.  Your packets and team t-shirts will be available for pickup at the Tom Muehlenbeck Center starting that night.  I can interoffice mail you the packet if you prefer.

 

Please make sure you let me know if you want a team t-shirt by Wednesday.  The cost is $7.  You can interoffice me that money as well.

 

See you in 19 days!

 

Time to Register for the 2013 RFTC!

This year is our 7^th anniversary and I would love for you to join our team again!

This year’s race is on Saturday, June 8^th at 8 AM.  It will be held at The Plano Campuses of HP and The Campus at Legacy, which is located on Legacy at Parkwood Drive, east of the North Dallas Tollway.  (This is the same location as last year.)

This year’s registration fee is $35.  That will get you a race t-shirt and the race entry fee.  Go to the Race Registration Page: http://northtexas.info-komen.org/site/TR/RacefortheCure/PNO_NorthTexasAffiliate?fr_id=3165&pg=entry.  In the middle of the screen click on “Join an Existing Team.”  Then enter the team name, Plano Cure-saders or team company, City of Plano.  This year packet mailing is an extra $5.  Team t-shirts will be $7.  You can interoffice the money to me at the Tom Muehlenbeck Center.

This year, we will be adding our youngest member to the team.  My first child, Austin James Farris, has rescheduled his 1^st birthday party to attend.  (His birthday is 6/6/12).  I have registered him for a new feature that started last year called “Babies for the Cure.”  For $10, he receives a commemorative race bib!  Did you know that there has been children as young as 3 years old diagnosed with breast cancer?

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Don’t forget to become a Plano Cure-saders Fan on Facebook.  The link is http://www.facebook.com/pages/Plano-Cure-saders/102153518018#!/pages/Plano-Cure-saders/102153518018?sk=wall.  You can get all our updates there.
