CLUB TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS 5M

AUGUST 4 IN CENTRAL PARK

5M RACE – 8:00 MEN; 9:00 WOMEN

This is a race for everyone!  As an inclusive Club, our strength and pride is in our numbers and we want to have lots of members showing up to run, to cheer, to smile for the team picture.  There will be the PPTC after-race buffet.  And the sight of teammates cheering you to the finish line is. . .priceless!

The sstart is at the 102 Sstreet transverse.  The Club will set up a team meeting place on the LEFT side of the east 102^nd Street entrance to the Park. Look for the banner.  You can leave your baggage there.  Note:  If you are driving to the race and have room in your back seat or trunk for food or supplies, please email contact@pptc.org.  You know the old saw – many hands. . .etc., etc.

Here are some more details from the NYRR website:
