Important - Is Your Team at Lincoln Park or Fairgrounds?

Welcome to Abe's Army and congratulations for joining. We're glad you are here!

We appreciate your patience, we are a volunteer organization doing our best to make this a good experience with a recordbreaking crowd this year. Thanks for your ideas and comments. We’re having to move some groups around to alleviate the parking issues. Some teams who were previously at Lincoln Park will now be meeting at the fairgrounds. Please check to see if your Team has been moved:

Lincoln Park
- All Walkers
- All Race Walkers
- Teams 9 through 22 (from the Lincoln Park time trial)

Fairgrounds – Use parking lot 21 for vehicle, assemble in front of the Grandstand
-Teams 1 through 8 from the Lincoln Park time trials and all leaders associated with those groups/teams (see list below)
- Teams 1-11 from the Fairgrounds time trials

Listing of Teams and Leaders Moving to the Fairgrounds

Team 1 (Purple 1)
Joe Thiel, Arthur Holtman , Bill Davis

Team 2 (Yellow 1)
Chuck Costello, Bob Fees, Mike Slater

Team 3 (Red 1)
Kaili Gustafson, Brenda Hillen, Ken Rausch

Team 4 (Orange 1)

If you do not have a designated group and guesstimate your running pace to be 10 minutes per mile or less, please report early to the Fairgrounds and see Jack Bellmer who will assign you to a group. If are a walker, race walker or you guesstimate that it will take you longer than 10 minutes to complete a mile, please report to Lincoln Park and Diana Nevitt will assign coordinators to assist you in joining a team/group. Don't worry if you end up in the wrong place or need to adjust, that can always be done, discuss it with Jack, Diana or your group/team leaders.

If you are a leader without a group, please report to Diana Nevitt at Lincoln Park for assignment.
Don't forget to refer to your Training Guide for helpful information, write down your team member and leaders contact information to assist you. Finally stay tuned to http://www.srrc.net/ and go to the Abe's Army Blog on the right hand side for up to date information on Abe's Army, that is how we will communicate with you between weekly training sessions.

Thank you again, we hope this will be a great experience. Enjoy!
