Valentine’s Day Races Updates . . .

This weekend’s race is the Fine Valentine Couple’s Relay and Open race, a low-key and (we hope) playful event that takes place at the University of Arizona and Main Gate Square.  First, we have some good news and bad news: due to University of Arizona construction at the football stadium, this week the UA has said that we cannot run on the stadium ramps.  Instead, we will run the original course ramps at McKale Center.  Again, this is either good or bad news, based on your perspective.  Second, we’re still rounding up prizes from Main Gate Merchants—we may end up going back to the prize structure of years ago where the winner received a big tub of cheetos!  Third, we have a host of couple’s categories, so check the race page for details on the couple’s race.  Finally, please note that race day registration and packet pick-up is only available on race morning, Sunday, February 12, 2012 at Geronimo Plaza, 814 E University Blvd, just east of Euclid, from 6:30-7:30 am.
