CONSIDER YOURSELF CHALLENGED!

Click Hey Striders,

The Austin Runners Club is issuing an open challenge to every running club in the State of Texas to compete for the title of Texas State Running Club Champions. I have attached a document that explains the details. We have also asked Gov. Perry to sponsor this event and to award the “Governor’s Cup” to the winning team and are awaiting his response. We would love to have a team from your club participate.

Thanks,

Richard Gibbens

This event will be entering Texas on October 26 and again on October 31.

Why: As a demonstration of American resolve and in support of the victims' families, employees of American Airlines, United Airlines, and Military Service Members will carry a United States flag across the country. This flag was flown over Iraq in the cockpit of a U.S. F-16 in support of Operation Southern Watch on October 2, 2001. Proceeds from this event will benefit selected charities in support of the victims of the tragedy on September 11, 2001.

When: The flag will leave Boston on October 11, 2001 with a goal to arrive in Los Angeles on Veteran's Day, November 11, 2001. These cities represent the origination and destination of American Flight 11 and United Flight 175.

How: The flag will be carried around the clock to achieve this goal. The routing is being developed but will proceed from Boston, through: New York, Washington, Atlanta, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. U.S. military personnel will be involved as the flag moves through the D.C. area. Further military involvement is anticipated as the event nears the vicinity of military installations across the nation.

Hang with us. We're experimenting with our message board/guest book.  So if it's not working, come back in a little bit and see what's working or what's screwed up.

This is a brand new web page so not much is going on.  Feel free to email us with your comments, suggestions, snide remarks or whatever.  We do have a message board that you can also post comments.   Any embarrassing things you know about fellow runners would be good.
