MidSummer Island Girl Challenge
 
A few of the lovely and talented BRC runners will be participating in a unique fitness challenge on Saturday August 21, 2010.
There is a women's only  Island Girl 10km event in the morning on the Toronto Island
The MidsummersNightsRun will occur in the evening  in our own neighbourhood.
 
Some of the ladies will be establishing BRC course records by running in both events.
Some are running the 10km and 15km while others are running 10km and 30 km.
 
Lets have some fun with this.
The racing/betting  slips will be available shortly (once we have all the contestants signed up)
Basically the rules are: (and this  will be subject to change and clarification)
 
For $2.00 per ticket you can estimate the completion times of the runners.
Prizing will be based on (top 3) closest times  to
-the 10km
-the 15km
-the 30km
And the overall total of both races by each of the ladies.
 
50% of the money raised will go back to the club and winner(s)  get to keep the other 50%.
(25-15-10 based on 1st 2nd and 3rd placements)
 
AND this following option  is still under consideration
 
A additional $1.00  bonus game will allow  winner take 50% of all funds raised for this
ENCORE  for the  closest times for all the runners at all the events.

Stay tuned

Ok , sign me up for 15K MSNR! What do I need to do? I'm already signed up for Island girl.
Can the competitors wager for the other runners too? This sounds fun!

Oh my goodness Duff, this is hilarious, I love it...!!!  The camaraderie in the group is awesome, I miss seeing you all!
I haven't yet registered for the Island Girl 10k (in case there's any discounts for both...?), but definitely will.   I signed up for MSNR 30k before there was a discount through BRC and Achilles (darn!).
I miss running with everyone, the dates just aren't working with my schedule this year...but keep in mind I am still running, albeit solo, and am SO looking forward to the double challenge.
I've even taken on another challenge, a try-a-tri in mid-July, so the cross-training will also help my running.  But as for betting times....your guess is as good as mine.... 
Thanks for making running so much fun!
