Greetings from the Sandhills Striders!
We would like invite the members of the various athletic clubs in the
area to join us for an Interclub Picnic/Training Run, Bike or Swim at
the Pinehurst Marina on Saturday, August 1st.
The marina will open the gates at 8am for parking.  We would like to
start running and or biking at approximately 8:30.  Open water
swimming will be available starting at 10:00am, but all swimmers
ABSOLUTELY MUST sign a waiver and notify the lifeguard on duty before
heading out for their swim.
We are extending this invitation to the Sandhills Cycling Club, The
Sandspurs Tri-Club, Sandhills Striders and the Mangum Track Club.
The cabana rental for the day is $40, so we were hoping each club
would be willing to contribute $10 to cover that cost.
We were considering letting each club plan their own training run/bike/
swim with the goal of meeting up afterwards for a brunch/picnic. Each
club can coordinate food/beverages for their participants
(unfortunately NO alcohol is allowed at the marina).
We would strongly encourage carpooling to the marina, as parking is
limited.
I have attached a flyer with this email that you can circulate among
the members of your respective clubs.  My hope is for this to be a
fun, informal event, and an opportunity to get to know some fellow
athletes.  Participants are encouraged to join us whether it's
strictly for the training portion, the picnic, or both.  I am
completely open to any suggestions that anyone may have, please feel
free to call or email me at any time!
Also if each club would be able to give me an approximate number of
participants by Wednesday, July 29th at kelly_mcc...@hotmail.com or by
cell phone at 910-690-7063.
Thanks and hope to see you all in August!
