Trail Race in Staten Island, October 18

Hello,

I am the director of a 5k trail run in Staten Island that benefits the Boy Scouts. It is being held inside Pouch Camp, the only inner Boy Scout camp in New York. I also wanted to get the word out about the “Running Club Award”. All you have to do is get 6 runners from your club (3 male and 3 female) to run the entire course. The 3 fastest male and 3 fastest female times are accumulated. The club with the 6 fastest times will receive the award and $100 will be donated to their club.

I was hoping to get the word out to your club!

Thanks and details are below:
