With 16 RMEC members racing in Chapel Hill this weekend, I thought it was best to use the blog for discussing any race day plans. By my count, the following are racing: Michael, Ursula, Scott, Leigh Ann, Ron, Robin, Kelly, Arthur, Michael D., Laura, Misty, Brad, Elaine, Charlotte, Amber, and Jon.
I expect all of our plans are quite mixed up. I know we plan to spend the night in Raleigh, so we are getting our packets today. We had discussed trying to gather for lunch after the race. I am still open to that idea, but do not know the area well, and do not have the time to organize anything. That is why I wanted to create a blog post on the topic.
Does anyone want to suggest a place to try to meet for lunch? Keep in mind, we will all be in running gear after a race. Also keep in mind that the Chapel Hill area will be filled with 2,000 runners plus the people in town for the spring football game. Please post comments, suggestions, ideas, your plans etc.
Good luck to everyone that is racing!
Just a suggestion- There is a Cracker Barrell at the airport exit. I think exit 284 off I40. Kelly and I are going to Chapel Hill tonight to spend the night.

As it stands now, I plan to leave extremely early from RM Saturday morning to get parked and get my packet.
ReplyDeleteAs for places to meet, there is "Top Of The Hill" on Franklin Street, along with a number of other places on that block. There are also other restaurants / "establishments" on Franklin toward Carrboro such as Ham's.
The spring game starts at 3:00 so there could a real crowd issue at
lunch.
Jon and I are staying in Durham tonight.
ReplyDeleteSince it'll still be early when the race ends, we'll return to our hotel to shower and check out, and then we'll hit "The Streets at Southpoint" for lunch somewhere.
Right now I no plans other than leaving RM very early.
ReplyDeleteArthur - Let's carpool. I don't mind driving. What time were you thinking leaving?
Sounds good, Ron. 4 ? ... earlier or later ??
ReplyDeleteLaura and I are leaving Rocky Mount at 5:30 from my house. We both should already have our packets. I am not sure what we are doing for lunch.
ReplyDeleteArthur - call me 883.9984
ReplyDeleteUrsula and I will need to go back to or kids. They will be with their Oma in Raleigh. If we eat after the race it will either need to be pretty quick, or we could also meet back up after getting the kids.
