Turkey Trot Packet Pickup and Thanksgiving morning

[Jim]

If you live in Erie (or within a reasonable distance), we would
_strongly_ encourage you to pick up your packet at the Community Blood
Bank garage (2656 Peach, Erie, PA) between 7 and 9 pm on Monday and
Wednesday. Come early, and beat the rush.

Please do NOT come into the blood bank proper, don't call them and ask
about packet pickup - they have their own business to run. They are
DONATING the use of their garage and need to be kept free to do their
business (which is helping the community)

If you live out of town, or for any reason won't be in town until
Thursday morning, that's fine. You can pick up your packet on
Thursday morning at Beach 1. Come early and beat the rush. The race
will start at 9:00 regardless of the size of the lines. Once the race
starts, there won't be any way to get onto the park until too late.
So come early. Pick up your stuff and sit in your car (or chat with
friends) until the race starts.

- Race staging

10k run - pick up your packet and go into the North lot (to the
right). 5k run & walk - pick up your packet and go into the South lot
(to the left). We'll move the 10k out onto the start and let them go.
Then we'll move the 5k out and let them go. Once the race starts, the
start line "disappears" as it has to go to the finish line.

Staging description - See this document:
http://www.erie-runnersclub.org/turkey/TurkeyTrotStaging.pdf
So when you show up on race morning, you have an idea of where to go.
(Incidentally, I'm not a great graphic artist, but I do try, and it's
not a bad description)

And just because somebody asked- TT Packed Pickup - Monday &
Wednesday, the 23rd & 25th of November. _NOT_ this week. 7-9 pm.

Thanks,
Jim.
