NYRR New York Mini 10K (women only) - Team Points Race

Central Park (map)

Selected By: Matthew

This should be a fun race - Kara Goucher and Paula Radcliffe are running it six months pregnant!

The race starts outside the park:

It goes up the west side and down the east side so you get to go down Cat Hill. I'm not sure if that means the west side will be flatter since it's on Central Park West instead of inside the park, but that might be the case.

Try to meet 30 minutes before the start at baggage to warm up and get in corrals!

    Was thinking all the guys not running could run the opposite way of the race and cheer. RSVP here if you are interested!

    Megan will meet the women's team near baggage 30 minutes before the gun goes off. Kick butt!

    This race has history that can be inspiring. The documentary Run for Your Life has a bit about it and was on iTunes (or you can get the DVD obviously) http://www.fredlebowmovie.com/index.html?section=trailer

    For all guys planning on watching the race and running counterclockwise, remember that the course starts outside the park. I'm not exactly sure how that will affect viewing while running. Good luck everyone!

    For those running, Let's meet at baggage (looks like in the Sheep Meadow across from the 67th St entrance - http://www.nyrr.org/races/2010/mini/pdf/mini10k_map.pdf) at 8:30am and warm up and get psyched to run our fastest!! :)
