2008 Frost or Fog Run
Don't forget - this Saturday is the infamous Frost or Fog Race in Bidwell Park. This is always a fun race, with a smaller crowd of die-hard runners (willing to brave frost, fog, or anything else that Mother Nature can dish out). All the details are below in the email from Julie Healy, one of the race co-directors (along with Nikki Stadler). Julie and Nikki do an awesome job putting together these events, so make sure you sign up and show up ready to run. This year both a 5K and 10K run are offered - so you can pick your distance.
Race details and registration is here
Happy New Year Frost or Foggers!
Did you make a New Year's resolution to run or walk in this year's Frost or Fog? If so, don't forget to sign up by January 12 for early registration and a guaranteed shirt on race day!
You can register online at www.active.com until January 18 at 5 p.m. or you can find registration brochures in Chico at Team Sports, Fleet Feet, CycleSport, North Rim Adventure Sports, Sports LTD, Mountain Sports, Campus Bicycles and in Oroville at Lots a Java, Mugshots, Oroville Sports Club, The Copy Center and Oro West Raquet Club.
We will have packet pick up at Fleet Feet Chico (222 W. 3rd Street) on Friday, January 18 from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. And, we will have race-day registration from 7:15 - 8:45 a.m.
Our charity organization this year is Chico YoungLives, a program dedicated to expectant teens and teen moms. We are excited to support YoungLives and look forward to donating a portion of the proceeds from the event. On race day we will be having an item drive (similar to a food drive) for the young mothers. We will send the YoungLives "wish list" to all Frost or Foggers closer to January 19.
Unable to participate this year but would still like to be a part of the action? We can use your help the day of the event! We have various volunteer opportunities and you get a snazzy sweatshirt for helping! Email back and let me know if you are interested.
Also, a huge thank you to our sponsors - Team Sports, Fleet Feet Chico, River City Heating and Air, Bidwell Perk, Recharge, Mt. Shasta Spring Water, and Raley's! We appreciate their continued support of our event and many other local events! We are always seeking proud sponsors for our event - if you or someone you know would like to be part of the event please have them contact Nikki at 530-966-3241.
We look forward to seeing you on January 19. Please feel free to email Nikki or call her at 530-966-3241 if you have any questions regarding the event.
