<div> </div>
<div>1) Who's IN ?? </div>
</div>
<div>
2) How long do you want to run or walk ?? stated in time, not distance (ex - I will run 1 hour). Please use hour increments .... ie 1 hour , 3 hours , 12 hours ... 
3) When are You available to do your assigned running/walking ?? (ex - I can run b/t 8 pm and 10 pm on Friday, Dec 31st) and -very important - What Time Zone you will be in for your run.
 
>>Hopefully we will have enough runners to cover the 24 hours. If not, then maybe we can do 12 Hours<<
<div> </div>
<div>Everyone is encouraged to participate !! Your walk or run need not be anything EXTREME and this is NOT a competitive event. The only contest is this - Prior to the start, each participant gets one guess at what the total distance covered by all the runners during the 24 hours will be. Closest guess WINS !!</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>
Please Note : It takes a little scheduling coordination to make the 24 Hour NY's Relay work so if You would like to participate in this years event please post your interest and availability here ASAP so we can get things organized and have a final schedule up by the 28th or 29th of December.

If I heal up I will be running a trail race at 8am NY day. I am working Friday so Saturday would be my only shot, and that is only if I am feeling better

Just Jim · Dec 20, 2010

There is a possibility that I will either participate in a 12 or 24 hr run on NYE - watch this space, a couple of things need to happen first (one of which is some recovery!). If I do the race, then you can use me for any hour through the night - the 12hr starts at 8pm. On the other hand, I may just crew - again, feel free to abuse me as appropriate!
 
If I don't Freedom Park, then let's just see what slots are available - I am flexible!
 
Oh, Eastern time zone

steve · Dec 27, 2010

I am in..

swallen1 · Dec 27, 2010

Not much of a night owl on NYE, but I can be an early bird if needed. I could run an hour or so, maybe New Year's morning? 7 or 8 or 9? I'm flexible though.
 
Steve

runNYtrails · Dec 27, 2010

so far we have a couple 'maybes' - Just Jim and meri and '2 for sures' - steve & swallen1. 
 
I'd be good for a couple 1 hours runs on Fri and Sat where needed . 
 
<img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"> I think we'd need a few more participants to make it work.
 
<img alt="director.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/director.gif" style="width:38px;height:18px;"> Anyone else wanna play ?? Topo ? lschkiller ? Sporti ? the Chris's ?? dingOjimm ? muddyman ? phred ? sk8dog ? shellerz ?? Gumbee ? jim harris ? roots and sgh ? ANY PRT Extreme Running Room lurkers ??
ALL ARE WELCOME !!
 
 
<img alt="dontknow.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/dontknow.gif" style="width:37px;height:15px;"> Just Jim and meri - how are things looking for You ?

merigayle · Dec 27, 2010

Still undecided, will let you know

I am working Friday, so Friday is out.

steve · Dec 27, 2010

I can fill in every untaken slot before 9am PST.. which is noon in New York. though I might not be moving very well by then.

Just Jim · Dec 27, 2010

I am definitely going to Freedom Park, but as a crew/pacer rather than a runner. Probably. I will bring my check book just in case I fancy a bib number though.
 
I will be there from mid to late afternoon NYE till 8am NYD.

mudrunner · Dec 27, 2010

I'm a maybe as well....I'll be doing the annual Fat Ass New year's Day run. It starts at 8:00am PST....I wn't be running the whole hog (50km), but I'll likely do 3 to 4 hours (35km to 40km).
There's also a polar bear swim at the end....does that count?

SportiGrl · Dec 28, 2010

I have to work from 10 a.m. to ??? on NYE and am hoping to attend an FA event on New years but it doesn't start till 10 a.m. 
 
 
so I may be able to bring in the last hour or two if needed but that's it for this beer-slingin' ultra-gal ...

 Hey steve !! 
 
Not sure if you mean Fri or Sat .... what time does your race Start/Finish ? The relay would go from Noon Friday to Noon Sat.

 I sure will - much like last year (where Meri and I had a "REAL" pass the baton!) - Crewing duties will come first, but I am sure I will be pacing some laps through the night. When making predictions, best not be putting high numbers for my time slot.

mudrunner · Dec 28, 2010

I'm sure I won't be in the water for longer than a minute.

merigayle · Dec 29, 2010

I am not going to the FA, but will run locally. By the time i get out the door, it will most likely be 9-10am, so anything around then would be ok, not more than 2 hours though

runNYtrails · Dec 30, 2010

Looks like a short roster but i'm still working on a schedule for the NY's relay ! 
We're Extreme , we can do it ! Check back this afternoon for a schedule and
to confirm your commitment !
