July 2011 Handicap Run

Event: ABQ Road Runners Liquid Carb Loading (Doubling as the July Handicap)

Our regularly scheduled July handicap is taking a break this month so everyone can enjoy a special event that we’ve coordinated with our friends from the Hash House Harriers.  Below are the details of this event.   All Roadrunners that participate will be awarded the same number of points as there are Roadrunner participants.  So if 15 ARR members are at this July event, everyone will get 15 points.  I hope everyone comes out to enjoy what promises to be a fun, entertaining, and refreshing event!

When:  Saturday, July 30.  Start Gathering 4ish, chalk talk 4:10ish, hares off

Directions to start:

Go to the intersection of Tramway and Central.

Proceed 1 mile east on Central, do NOT get on the freeway.  Note that
somewhere in that mile the road name changes to "Interstate 40
Frontage Rd E", "NM-333", or maybe even "Route 66".  Just stay off the
freeway.

After 1 mile (just past the Believers Center) there's a little
graveled parking area to the right (south side of the road).  Park
there.  Look for hashers/ARR.

You might have to walk down the hill to the south of the parking area
to where there's shade, a stream bed, and possibly a stream.  Your GPS
coord might now be: 35.0615,-106.4822
