Anyone Can Win 5k - April 12th - Prospect Park
Join us in
Prospect Park for a unique prediction race. How well do you know your own pace?
The winner of this event won't be the fastest runner, but the runner who knows
their own pace best. When you register, you specify a "predicted" finish time --
and the winner is the person who is closest to this time. No watches can to be
worn and there will be no time clocks on the course. Last year, the winner came
in within 1 second of her predicted time, and the top 30% came in within 1
minute. There's no race tee shirt -- all proceeds go towards projects in
Prospect Park to benefit the running community. Are you up for the challenge? For
more information and to register visit the event website.
Are you interested in being a part of this event but don't want to run? Come
volunteer! We are looking for people to help with day-of registration, bag
check, course marshaling and more. Register
to volunteer or contact mo...@jackrabbitsports.com for more
information.
JackRabbit Running Show - April 22nd & 23rd
It's
Opening Day for Running in NYC! Kick off your spring the right way with 30,000
sq feet of expo space, clinics, speakers, panel discussions, and social events.
Over two dozen of the top brands in running & triathlon will be exhibiting,
including speakers and panels like Scott Jurek, Matt Long, the trend toward
minimalist shoes and barefoot running, a seminar on women's health issues in
running, clinics on improving running form, nutrition, and many more. We haven't
made this public yet, but we wanted you to be among the first to know:
Survivor winners Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca will be speaking at the
Team in Training event at the show on Friday night, and we've partnered with NYCRuns.com
to put together a panel on the NYC Running scene on Saturday afternoon.
A $10 ticket gets you $15 off of your purchases at the show, and there will
be great free gifts for people who spend over $100, $200, or $350. It's a great
opportunity to gear up for spring and start the season right! Get more
information and purchase your tickets on the JackRabbit Running Show website: www.nycrunshow.com.
Clubs & Races Event at the Running Show
Along with
all of the exciting booths, speakers, and panels at the Running Show, we are
also having a special event to showcase all of the amazing local clubs and teams
that make NYC such a vibrant place to run. This mini-expo taking place on
Saturday, April 23rd from 3-6pm is a great opportunity for your club to recruit
new members, show off your team spirit, and market any upcoming events. Best of
all, participation is free if at least 10 members of your group buy tickets to
the show! Don't miss out - encourage your club members to buy their tickets and
secure your table today! We have included a blurb (attached) for you to simply
copy and paste to help spread the word to your club members.
Run for the Rabbit "Teaser" commercial airs Tuesday March

The Run for the Rabbit campaign kicks off at the JackRabbit NYC
Running Show on April 22nd. Starting tomorrow, we're letting the world know

Getting to the Start - Help from JackRabbit
We know that
one of the most frustrating things about being an athlete in New York City is
getting to the race start on time with limited headaches. In an effort to ease
your race day stress, we are trying to arrange bus transportation to a variety
of events in and around the metro area. Please email us if there's a popular
running race that you'd love to find an easier way to get to!
