Pacer Events April 12, 2003 River-to-River Relay Teams ----------------------------
April 12, 2003
Welcome to
river to river with the pacers. I will try to explain what, where, when,
who and how much as briefly as possible.
River-to-River
is an eighty-mile relay race. Teams of eight people run across southern
Illinois from the Mississippi to the Ohio River. It takes about 9 to 11
hours to complete the course. Each member of the team runs three sections
that are called legs. A leg is about 5 kilometers long. Some of the legs
are longer, some are shorter, and Most are filled with challenging hills
and beautiful scenery.
The race takes
place in the southern tip of Illinois. We have cabins reserved at the
Giant city state park, which is located right in the middle of the
national forest that we will be running through. The cabins are just like
motel rooms just that instead of a hallway they are connected by a paved
path in the forest. In the center of all of the cabins is the main lodge
with a gift shop and large restaurant.
The race is
Saturday April 12th. The basic itinerary is to drive down to
Carbondale in the vans Friday the 11th and meet at Giant city.
Friday afternoon/evening the teams will register, prepare for the race,
shop and eat dinner. Saturday we will caravan in the two team vans, to
the start [about an hour drive]. Both of our
teams have a 8:15 start time. So we have 11 hours and 45 minutes to run
the course before they close it at 8 PM. After the race we will
celebrate in the small town of Golconda Illinois. Then it will be up to
the individual teams to deal with dinner and get back to Giant city.
Sunday we plan to have a big get-together breakfast in the dining room at
the lodge. The morning can be finished with a hike through some of the
trails in the park. This is great for working out the stiffness from the
race. Then it is back to Chicago Sunday afternoon.
The first 16
Pacers that get a check for $190.00 to me [Wayne Smith] will be placed on
a team. After 16 people sign up I will take names and start a replacement
list. No money will be collected from the people on the replacement list
until someone has to change their plans. The teams will be divided so
that they will be approximately even in speed. This adds to the Fun, [We
like to defeat others, but we love to beat our friends.] The teams are
named; April Fools and the other is The Dead Runners Society. Please fill
out the form that is attached. This information will be necessary to set
up the teams and to contact you with more detailed information in the
future.
As was stated in ‘Who’ the cost is $190.00.
This covers the race entry fee; the two nights stay at Giant City, and all
of the cost of the van rental. Expenses not covered are; transportation to
and from Carbondale [Gas for the vans], meals, and race supplies. If you
get extravagant you might spend $70 or $80. So the total cost should come
to under $270.
I will contact
you with more specific information and directions in early April. If you
have any questions please give me a call at (773) 477-8818.
