Memorial Day Race Update - Race Day Discount For Club Members

The Runners' Club of Greater Cincinnati has been pregnant with growth over the last four months so the board wondered if the race could include a race day discount for current and future club members.  After one-two hours of discussion and possible torture in between, Memorial Day Race 38 will offer a discount for club members on race day.  To get the discount, you need to provide proof of current membership.  Proof of Current Membership includes one of the following:

1. A current membership card that you received when you renewed or joined the club in 2014.
2. If you do not have your card but your smartphone, you can use your smartphone to verify that your membership is current if you can get an internet connection on race day.
3. If you recently joined online and do not yet have a card, a copy of your  membership receipt.
4. A credible current member can vouch for you(Good luck with that). 
5. Fill out a membership form on race day and pay for both the membership and the race.

Reminder: Race Day Registration begins at 8:00 AM. Race Day Cost: $20.00 General Public,  $15: Age 21 and Under / RCGC Members over 21.  A limited supply of technical shirts are also available for $10. If you have any questions, contact us at cincinnatirunning@gmail.com.
