ECR Run No. 7 - Update 5

Team

5 days to go!!!
79 participants confirmed so far!!!!

We need another 21 more to hit a century!! Do spread the word....

Volunteers: We need volunteers to man drink / aid stations enroute and help with water, sports drink and generally provide first aid cover. I request some of our members who are NOT running to pitch in and help the runners. Join us as a volunteer and feel the thrill.... Please let me know if you are interested / know anyone who would be interested in helping us out.
Special thanks to Shumit, George, Arun Krishnan and Ram (for volunteering his son!) for having confirmed that you will be able to volunteer during the event. .. fantastic gesture, should I say "sacrifice for the cause"...

Registration: If you have not already registered, please register for the run on line at our website, www.chennairunners.com - you can find the registration form under the "Upcoming Runs" section.

Logistics
We are looking to car pool from Dimensions on CP Ramaswamy Road, Alwarpet to reach the start point. Alternatively, runners can reach the start point directly to be in time for warm up session / start
Cars will leave from Dimensions Gym, at 4:00 AM sharp
Other pick up points may be available, depending on your location and other runners driving/riding from your area.
Please let me know how many of you with cars can come to Dimension so that we can add you to the number of cars available for car pooling?
There are some of you (14) who have indicated that you need transport – can you all join us at Dimensions or enroute? Please confirm.
