Hi @pgxc-flrc and @pgxc-high-noon,

It’s time to get ready for the fall cross-country season. You’ve already done this at least once before, so this message is focused on the essentials:

  • :spiral_calendar: Dates/locations are listed below.
  • :memo: After you sign up for one or more PGXC races (men ages 19 and over, sign up with High Noon), fill out a row on the roster spreadsheet—FLRC (co-ed under age 19 and women) or High Noon (men)—indicating which races you plan to run, aren’t yet sure of, or won’t be at. (The PGXC Cross-Country Teams page has complete registration directions. If you need a coupon code to sign up for free for budgetary reasons, contact me or Adam. No questions asked.)
  • :shirt: The deadline for guaranteeing a PGXC shirt if you buy during sign-up is the end of August.
  • :spaghetti: The spaghetti dinner (pass-a-dish) will be on September 12, at 6:30 PM, at the Lamberts’ house (same as last year). We’ll send another message with RSVP/details soon.
  • :bed: :bison: We will have an intriguing overnight option for the Saturday night before the Buffalo race—stay tuned or ask @jonlewis.
  • :person_running: :deciduous_tree: Optional Tuesday night team workouts have begun at the Cornell Botanic Gardens. Watch the Group Runs category on the FLRC Forum for details.
  • :newspaper: I’ve included this year’s flyer (way below) and here is a download link in case the attachment isn’t easy to download. It’s for your fridge or favorite bulletin board. Please spread these around. I usually have extras in my car, too, if you want some but can’t print on your own.
  • :sweat_smile: :desktop_computer: Doing well as a team in these races is 90% perspiration and 10% administration… please fill out your row on the Google Sheet and keep it updated. Don’t be shy! Ask for help if you need it.

See you on the run,

—Tonya & Adam (FLRC/High Noon team captains)

Do course maps exist anywhere for the middle 3 races? No links on the PGXC RunSignup site.

For new (or very old) courses, the course maps tend to arrive much closer to the race date. We have to finalize our own Treman course, for instance, since things have changed since we last ran it. @JesseKoennecke is working on that.
