The Great Medoc Rerun

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT: We have extra Medoc items that we plan to sell to RMEC members and friends. There is a small catch however. We feel the medals, and hats are something runners should earn. This means you must have completed the Medoc course to be able to buy any extra items. So, for those of you who could not make it to Medoc Trail Races or were volunteering, here is your chance!

THE GROUP RUN: Please join us for the Great Medoc Rerun on December 6th! It will be cold, there will be leaves on the ground, there will only be one fluid stop, and the course will be unmarked. It will be a challenge!

PECKING ORDER: We will try to sell all of the extra Medoc items. Any items will be sold in the following priority:

1) Volunteers who are doing the Rerun
2) Other's doing the Rerun
3) Anyone who completed the official race
4) Anyone else

We really want to make sure people have a chance to get the extra Medoc items, especially those who volunteered instead of running. I will keep a list of who is signed up, and what items you are requesting. I will not know who gets what until the day of the run and I can see everyone who signed up, so please be patient, and understand we want everyone in the RMEC to own a piece of Medoc.

COST: So, how much does it cost?

• $0 - Rerun Entry
• $10 - Long Sleeve Tech Shirt
• $9 - Finishers Hats (must complete the course)
• $4 - Finishers Medal (must complete the course)
• $20 - Get all three (shirt, hat, and medal)

WHO CAN RUN: Everyone! This is a group run. Even if you raced already, come join us! There are lots of you who did not get a chance to run the official Medoc Trail Races, so we are hopeful to get a BIG crowd out for the Rerun. I came up with about 30 names off the top of my head: Frank, Patti, Michael, Arthur, Scott, Misty, Eric P, Derek, Kelly, Russ, Tom, Robin, Brad, John, Tracy P, Cliff, Tim, Ryan, Julian, Yvonne, Jason, Andy, Carol, Mary, Deb, Evan, Josh, Leigh Anne, Richard, Doug, Cam, etc.

INVENTORY: We do not know how much we have of everything yet. We are going to have a "Packet Unstuffing" party to figure what we have left over. I had hoped to have extra cotton shirts, but I am afraid these might have been taken during the event, because I only found one left over, and we did not have 40 volunteers.

AWARDS: Yes, we have extra awards too, so we will even do age group awards at the Rerun. This in no way is intended to diminish those who earned awards on race day. I just don't need a stack of plaques hiding in my garage for the next 10 years. I would rather share them with the RMEC.

SIGNING UP: Post a comment here if you plan to join us. One comment per person will be helpful. I need to know the following:

• Name: ________________________
• Distance: 10M, 26.2, Other (just out for fun)
• Shirt Requested: Grey Tech. . . White Tech. . . Navy Cotton 50k Meltdown Shirt
• Finisher Items Requested: Hat. . .Medal

Nothing would make me happier than to see 40+ ruuners come out for the group run. It would be a great way to thank those that volunteered, by joining them on the trails
