Birthday Run Memo

1. This memorandim will outline the plan for the Air Force Run on Saturday, 03 OCT 09.
2. The 3rd Annual Air Force Birthday Run is scheduled for this Saturday, 03 OCT 09. Registration
will begin at 0630 in front of Plumley (by the Sabine Gates). Volunteers will be there by 0610 (the
registration form says that registraion will go from 0700-0745, but since there is an NUCC parade at
0915, we are going to start registration at 0630 so we can start the run before 0800. We are sending
out a mass e-mail to all participants informing them of the time change). We will have 14 roadguards,
2 pace cars and 2 people manning the registration table. Cadets Dumas, Summers and myself will be
supervising the registration. NUEMS will be present and will set up in front of Plumley. Northfield
PD has also been notified of the run. We will have 2 water stations on the route. One will be in front
of the Mobile Station on Rt 12 and the other will be in front of Plumley along Rt 12. Roadguards will
be posted at each intersection (with roadguard vests).
3. As of 1800, 30 SEP 09, we have 90 paid runners. We hope to break 100 with POC particitpation.
Each participant will receive a complimentary T-shirt. Runners will be put in categories according to
their age group (20-29, 30-39, etc). We will have prizes for the top finishes in each category. The
first-place finisher in each category will receive a beer stein. We will also have a raffle at the end of
the race.
