Race Registration: DONE

We met the early deadline for registering...put these dates in June on your calendar in INK that you cannot erase!

MC200 here we come

Welcome to our blog...we are six amateur runners that have come together for our next running challenge and adventure - a 200 mile team relay in June 2009. Some of us have a few marathons under our belt, some of us a few 5K's. Five of our team members are experiencing a team relay like this for the first time.

Today we connected for a chilly, but sunny five miler - minus our sixth team member Joe Fifer - somehow he was detained at some post Thanksgiving festivity - missed you Joe! In the photo above, back L to R: Ken Nash, Clint Nickoles, Tom Dean, front L to R: Chris McKenna, Howard Atsma

Stay tuned as we update the blog, and highlight a different team member every month for the next six months. And share our highs/lows and running tales.

We'll run from Madison, WI to Chicago, IL on June 12 and 13, 2009. See the website at http://www.mc200.com/. Each of us will run a total of somewhere between 29-38 miles each - in six different legs each. Yes, we are an ULTRA team - most teams that participate are 12 member teams (wimps).

There is significance to our name - tune in soon to read more about that...
