Description
The McCorquodales and Pike Creek Valley Running Club are inviting all club members to participate in the 9th Annual McCorq's Friendly Fun Run 5K Handicap Challenge(on a wheel-measured 5K course) on Thursday, Sept. 1 at 1235 Ipswich Dr. Sherwood Park II. Start your Labor Day weekend with a race!
Three important items:
1. Non-club members are definitely welcome, but we ask $10 contribution to help offset club expenses.
2. There is always a good number of prizes; if anyone wants to contribute prizes, such as regifting items won at a race (not shirts), please contact me.
3. If you or a family member can't run, but want to participate, we always have the need for volunteers, such as course marshalls.
Show up to sign in by 6:00 p.m. We will need to know the best 5K time you have run in the past year. Be prompt so that you can warm up before the 6:30 p.m. race; this will give us time to use your race times to set the order of runners.
This run will start near the our house, go up through the development of Sherwood Park II to Delcastle Recreation Center for one loop around and return to finish back at the startline. It will be a handicapped start, based on your 5K best time. The slowest runner will go first, then the next slowest, and so on to the fastest. In theory, everyone could cross the finish line at the same time. In actuality, someone has probably improved his or her running enough in the past year to be the winner. But if enough people donate prizes, even gag gifts, you soon learn why EVERONE IS A WINNER at this event.

No cheating, please! This is for fun! Find out your best 5K time before you come. You can e-mail me in advance with the time at mccorq@comcast.net.
Afterward, we will gather in my house for food and beverages. If there are any requests, including a particular kind of diet soda, or dietary restrictions, let me know. The race will start near our house. We have gotten permission to use the parking lot of a law firm located directly in back of our house. This address is 1211 Milltown Road. Here is a Mapquest location for this address: See map for parking
(Ignore the fact that it says 1251 in the Mapquest info; that merely put the location where 1211 actually is.) Out of courtesy to the tenants of this building, no one park there before 5:00 p.m. and no double parking in case people are working late.
There will be a sign directing you into the parking lot and additional signs directing you to our back gate. If the lot is full, go around the block in either direction(see map and park on Ipswich Dr.) Our house(1235) is located on the south side about 100 feet west of Fountain Ct.
