RUN RSVP: Saturday @ Golf Club at Rocky Mount

No, it is not Friday (sorry). I am posting the RSVP early, because this weekends run will be different that the normal Teeter runs.

We will have our group run this Saturday at The Golf Club at Rocky Mount. This will give everyone a chance to run on the race course. This is a VERY BIG DEAL. I am actually surprised that they said yes when I asked. Here are the rules that we must follow:

1. We will start running at 6:00 am, so should be there by 5:50 am.
2. Park at the back of the gravel lot.
3. You will be asked to sign a waiver before you start running.
4. There are no bathrooms available to us.
5. We will only run on the cart paths and the dirt roads. No exceptions.
6. The maintenance crew knows we will be there, but you must yield to them any time you see them.
7. You must bring your own fluids. There is limited shade, so please bring some for the run.
8. I will have a cooler at the finish, but not on the course.
9. We need to be off the course by 7:00 am. If you want to run more, it CANNOT be on the golf course.
10. We will leave zero trash on the course or in the parking lot.
11. This is a ONE TIME event. Any other time you are on the course without permission, it is trespassing.

I know this sounds like a bunch of winy rules by me. . . but we need to make sure to respect the property when we are out there. First and foremost, they are a golf course. That is their business. We are probably one of about a dozen races in the country that is actually held on a golf course. We do not want to lose this privilege.

Run Details:

• Where: Saturday, 5:50 am @ The Golf Club at Rocky Mount
• Supported: No - Bring your own fluids
• Weather: Forecast
• Routes: Course Map

The 5k route follows the cart paths until you pass the fourth green. Before you get to hole #5, you will reach a dirt road. Turn left on the dirt road, and follow it for about a quarter of a mile. You will soon see the #14 tee box on your right. Get off the road and follow the cart paths for the remaining holes.

The 10k route is pretty simple. All you need to do is follow the cart paths the entire run. At the hole #11 tee box the path splits. You will turn right. If you don't you will run small circle and be back in the same spot. At hole #17 tee box the path will spilt. You should turn left and complete the very small circle before running beside the #17 fairway.
