The half way point for 5k, start line for 2.5kWhat an exciting week! Only a few days left to the series kickoff event- The Law Day Run on May 2. There are 230 names in the computer right now. I ordered almost 400 shirts. The old record for any race is about 335 if memory serves. About 130 people signed up for the whole series so far. Should be some good competition. 
A steady stream of happy runners in 2008
I have spent the bulk of the last few days trying to get our new timing system up and running. So far I have had little luck. I think it may have something to do with the instructions in Danish. Or lack of instructions.
Again a reminder. The race is from city hall to the ross park pool. The gun fires at 8:00am (except 10k walk - 7:30). Routes are mapped on http://www.pocatellorunners.com/ . A shuttle van is provided from 8:30-when the job is done.
This is where the 10k takes off from the 5k.

This is where the 10k takes off from the 5k. The sponsor is the 6th district bar association (that's lawyers, not brewers). They do an excellent job even in tough times and prizes should be great. I have heard the shirts are going to be awesome.
I still need a lot more volunteers! email me lclark@pocatello.us
Chip timing: Every registered racer will receive a quarter sized white plastic token that holds a small mircochip. You zip tie your chip to your shoe. The finish time plus chip number is transmitted to the computer at the finish line when you cross our new finish mats. That is coordianted to our racer database to produce results. You will not get resutls if: you lose your chip, you miss the mats, you wear your chip on your wrist or hat.
IF YOU LOSE YOUR CHIP WE WILL CHARGE YOU $10. Some one will be at the finish line to collect chips. If you are picking up multiple chips please keep the straight. they all look the same and if someone wears the wrong chip results are messed up forever. I am still unsure what will happen if you cross the finish line multiple times (this always happens with at least one person every race).
So a summary: wear your own chip on your shoe, be normal.
