Miles for a Smile

Race times now online!

When	Saturday, April 18, 2009
Where	Lakeshore Path

Walk/Run for charity!
The proceeds from this event will go to the MBA Foundation, which is an organization that supports the education and welfare of the disabled in India.

Timings:
5k run: Registration is at 1:15 PM, Race starts at 1:30 PM
8k run and 5k walk (simultaneous): Registration is at 2:15 PM, Race starts at 2:30 PM
Every attempt will be made to start the races ON TIME, so please be punctual. The 15 minute time given for registration is important, because all participants will need to sign a waiver form (university-required) and collect their numbered bib. Please pin your bib on the front using safety pins (will be provided).

Route:MAP BELOW
5k run and walk: Starts at Memorial Union @ Park St, continues on Lakeshore path, past the entrance to Picnic Point, along University Bay Drive, U-turn at Harvard Drive (4k point) and end at entrance to Picnic Point.
8k run: Same as above, except that race ends at Memorial Union @ Park St. (i.e. round trip)
There will be volunteers posted at different points along the race, so there is no chance of you losing your way :)

Refreshments:
There will be 2 aid stations, one at the 3k mark (which is also the 5k mark, after the U-turn) and one at the 8k finish line. So effectively 3 aid stations :) ... Water and Gatorade will be provided, among other snacks.

Prizes:
We will have prizes for each category (5k run female, 5k run male, 8k run female, 8k run male), so give it your best shot :) ...We hope you can stay for both the 5k run and 8k run/5k walk, to encourage all the participants! We plan to have the prize distribution on the same day, after the events. Also, each runner's name and race time will be published on the IGSA website.

Other:
Please make checks payable to Sankara Hari Gopalakrishnan. Moneylink requests can be sent if needed. Contact sankarahari@gmail.com

Request:
We encourage you to ask your friends and relatives to donate for this cause. We suggest a personal fundraising goal which you can work towards by asking your friends to donate. You can present us with the checks/cash during the event. Alternatively, you can send us the check after the event too, preferably within a week from the event so that we don't delay sending the money over to MBA Foundation.
