There’s a form linked in the original announcement at the top where you can submit your mailing address.
Honestly, things have been changing so fast on us that we don’t have a plan for what to do—the entire point of having people pick up the medals was to save the significant volunteer work of stuffing and mailing envelopes, and we’d planned to spread the load by doing it at our April board meeting… which now can’t happen in person. So please, just sit tight. We have the medals, and we don’t want to keep the medals, but in the overall scheme of what’s happening, it may be a bit before they can be distributed.
As far as the bib design goes, let’s see if @AlexK has a PDF proof she could share here.
Thank you for the donation, Amy! The virtual race is on the honor system, so all you need to do to get the medal is enter your mailing address in this form.
It turns out that the bib files we could get (and what @AlexK posted earlier) were password-protected PDFs, so they can’t be printed or exported or edited in any way. Sorry!
An update on the Skunk medals: Our plan to let people pick up medals for the virtual Skunk at the Finger Lakes Running Company has been derailed by New York State on PAUSE forcing many businesses to close. Similarly, the stay-at-home recommendations prevent our volunteers from acquiring mailing supplies, stuffing envelopes, and visiting the post office to mail medals to out-of-towners.
So please be patient. When the running store reopens and we can once again work together on the mailing, we’ll start the medal distribution and let everyone know. Don’t worry, it will happen—we don’t want to have all these medals around forever!
What are the guidelines for the Virtual 1/2 marathon? I am planning a route using GPS. I will ride the route on my bike. I am planning water stops at a grocery on the route. My speed has not progressed as well as I expected. Can I please have a waiver on the time limit?
I am grateful for the health and the freedom to get outside. Tomorrow (Saturday), I will joyfully run my virtual Skunk Cabbage Half. I look forward to seeing everyone’s posts on the FLRC FB page. Run Long and Prosper!!
If anyone wants to print out a bib for the virtual race, here is a quick mockup.
You will need to open in Photoshop or compatible in order to put in your own number.
I recommend printing at roughly 50% scale in order to approximate a typical bib size. Or you can just size it to whatever your printer can handle.
