Hello, @pgxc-flrc and @pgxc-high-noon!
We’ll be racing on Sunday, 9/20, at Bassett Park (359 Klein Rd, Williamsville, NY 14221), which is roughly a 2:50 drive. This will be our fourth year running this pleasant, mostly flat, grassy course. The course map shows parking in the middle and upper left.
To sign up for this race – or any race – scroll down a little on the PGXC Cross Country Teams page to find links for signing up and adding yourself to the Google Sheet. If you sign up for the Buffalo race, please reply to this post or text Tonya or Adam so we can get you on the roster; we may not notice a late addition to the Google Sheet.
Below is info about carpool, at-the-race, and an intriguing post-race lunch stop.
Sunday carpool
On Sunday, we’ll have our usual carpool routine:
-
The main carpool will leave from the southwest corner of Cornell’s B-lot on Sunday morning (see image below). Plan to arrive at 6:45 AM, sort people into cars, and depart at 7:00 AM sharp.
-
Since there may be only a few cars going to Buffalo, please share your plans in the comments for this post on the FLRC Forum (or text Tonya at 607-275-8383): Do you need a ride? Can you provide one? Are you driving up independently from the B-lot (and can you offer a ride to anyone else)? Adam and Tonya will not be at the B-lot carpool, as they have other travel plans to Buffalo.
At the race
The race starts at 11 AM, so we suggest arriving at Bassett Park around 10 AM. When you arrive, drop off your gear and find team members at the FLRC tent. Then, pick up your number from the main race organizing table. If you ordered a PGXC shirt, pick it up from the main race organizing table.
Extra FLRC and High Noon jerseys will be available to sign out at the FLRC tent. (If you will be borrowing a jersey, wear a blue or black shirt that you like for racing in case we don’t have one in your size.) Aim to get to the start line 5–10 minutes before the race so you can join the team cheer and hear announcements.
After the race
When you finish running, cheer for any teammates who are still racing. Do a post-race cooldown jog with others on the team. The PGXC series will provide post-race refreshments, such as bananas, oranges, energy bars, and chips/pretzels.
About a half hour after all runners finish, there will be an awards ceremony for individuals and age-group teams. We’ll pack up and leave after that.
Adam and Tonya will be stopping at Okay Beer Company, at 126 W. Main St., Honeoye Falls, NY 14472, to stretch our legs and grab a meal, and we hope to see lots of other team members there.

See you on Sunday! —Tonya & Adam
