Looking for a female runner for the Bourbon Chase Relay
From the club email:
An out of town all female team is doing the Bourbon Chase Relay (www.bourbonchase.com) near Lexinton, KY on October 22-23. They are an all female team(visit www.girlsheartrockets.com for more info) in desperate need of a 12th runner for the race.
They are looking for a runner who is over the age of 21 due to the theme of the race. Most of them can run a marathon in 3:05-3:35, half in under 1:45, and 5K in under 21 mins. It would be cool to find someone within those time frames, but they're not at all strict about it. (Their starting time was based on the 10K time of the runner they lost, so they would prefer finding someone who can run under-8 minute/mi on a flat course for 7 miles and who has the endurance to run 3 times in 24 hours -- the mileage would total about 16mi). Despite this discussion of pace, they are a for-fun team that is completely relaxed about the event and promise anyone who joins them that they will have a great time!
If you are interested, contact Serena Ely at seley2@illinois.edu.
