Everyone who registered before 4/1 has now been assigned a bib number and a start corral.  We will be providing a link shortly to look up your specific information.  Please print out your information from the provided link and bring it with you to pick up your race packet (bib, timing strips, event tech-shirt, official race day gear bag, etc.)

If you forget the print out with your bib number, terminals will be available to look it up. It will slow down the process however, so we recommend you bring this printout with you.

 

  1. Rejuvenate After Your Race

After you’ve completed your race be sure to stop by our Rejuvenation/Recovery Tent in the Finish Line Festival area for a free massage (watch for signs).  A short message on tired and sore muscles, by trained experts, can do wonders on race day and the following days.  You’ve earned it. Enjoy!

  1. Let’s All Pitch in Together to Help Others

Move for Hunger will be conducting a food drive again this year during the Health & Fitness Expo.  Please remember, it’s “cans in hands” when heading to the Expo.  Please help us to end hunger here in New Jersey!!

We’re attempting to change the lives of families in African villages again by donating used athletic shoes to the MORE Foundation during the Expo. It takes the proceeds from 600 pairs of shoes to sustain a family for a year, and we’d like to adopt several families again this year! Together we supported 4 families in 2013. Thank you!
I hope the information above will help you plan for the variety of activities available over the 3 day weekend.

Best wishes during your training and throughout the entire weekend of activities!

  7. Exactly what severe plan work looking to accomplish over a capsule which you can’t perform at present? Make sure you keep in mind that whenever Dorrie Job opportunities unveiled the actual ipad tablet, it was shown as being a 3rd software choice (along having desktops as well as laptops). Anticipating some sort of tablet to perform SolidWorks design work is absolutely not exactly what the intended for. In that identical abnormal vein, what you might look at being non-serious job can be opposite great person (think salespeople). It can exactly about flow of work along with getting what realy works right for you.
