Hi, all -- this message is for everyone who has signed up for the Whippets Hash run on Tuesday, July 20 at 7 in Central Park. I look forward to seeing you at this fun/athletic/social event. Just a few reminders and things to keep in mind...
1) If it's raining as of 4pm on Tuesday, or looks like rain, I will post a message postponing the event to a future week. That's because you will be following a trail marked in chalk, which disappears in the rain. 2) Be on time! Meet us at 86th & 5th (the usual Tuesday night meeting spot) at 7:00, or at Engineer's Gate at 90th & 5th NO LATER THAN 7:15. I'll be giving out final instructions then and will send you on your way. 3) Don't check your bag at New York Road Runners club. The hash run will finish after 8pm, and you'll have no idea where you're finishing, so it will be too late to pick up your bag at NYRR. If you can't check your bag with a friend at NY Sports Club, bring it to the start and I'll lug it to the finish. 4) For saftey, take a cell phone, Metrocard, cash and a bottle of water with you. I'll give you my phone number so you can call me if you get lost on the trail. 5) I will be creating two trails and will split you up into groups so that you're starting out with people who run at the same pace. Part of the fun of hash runs is figuring out the trail together. I'll give you more details at 7:15 on Tuesday, especially about staying close to at least one other fellow runner for safety.
