From the director of Shoreline~

Don’t forget that the entry fee discount for early sign up is still available through Saturday (Sept 6), and then entry fees will increase by $5. Shirts will be limited to the first 600 entrants (5K/15K), and we are getting close to 300 entries. You may sign-up online at www.signmeup.com/61509 or download your registration form at www.shorelineclassic.com. The Shoreline Classic is one of the few races that absorbs the added cost for online entry.

New this year for the Shoreline Classic:

Athleticare at St. Mary’s Hospital is this year’s Presenting Sponsor and did a fantastic job introducing our Shoreline Squad Training Program. We had 60+ participate this year, and it’s been a wonderful success thanks to Athleticare. It’s a great program to consider for 2009 if you need a little extra help with your training. Many experienced runners enjoy the group runs/training.

T-Shirts – we have upgraded to 100% Dri-fit material for our Long Sleeve Shirts - the design is awesome. The shirt color is black.

Tot Trot – we have introduced two tot trot races to broaden our reach for family participation. Info on website.

High School Donation Program – we added a 3rd $500 donation based pre-registered entry “votes”. This will be added to the other $1500/yr we’ve donated to area running programs in the past. Don’t forget to list a high school on your entry to increase their chances in the drawings. We will also have 2 X $250 donations based on race day drawings. Info on website.

As always, this event would not be possible without the help of our sponsors. Please let them know it’s appreciated and support them with your business.

See you Sunday September 21!
