Hi-
My Great Midwest Relay team (www.greatmidwestrelay.com) is looking for a few more runners to round off our 12 person mixed team roster. Race is June 8-9, starts in Madison, WI and ends in Chicago, IL. We’ve done this 2x before and have logistics worked out very well. We do have a title to defend, so paces of the 6+ min/mile vicinity would be excellent. Everyone is competitive about this race (and running in general) but we have an awesome time in the process. Let me know if you’re interested.
Wish I could help but I’ll be out there with my team. I’ll keep my ears open for some other fast runners.
Love to help out, but I’ll be out there myself and defending the title in the men’s ultra division. Check out the race website and see if there’s a link to a list of folks looking for teams. If not, the RD sent out an e-mail with a list of folks looking for teams - feel free to PM with an e-mail address and I’ll forward it to you.
Mike
Thanks for the info. I’m already on the mailing list (how exciting to have all the concerns about what to eat fill the inbox!) and haven’t come up with any good leads from that yet.
What teams are you both from? Less than a month until race day!
Yeah, they do send a bunch of e-mail, but you gotta admit for a race of this magnitude, they’re getting it down pretty well. I’m the captain of team 88 - Lactic Acid Junkies. We’ve got 5 outta 6 from last year’s team returning, and a very solid pinch hitter filling in. I sure hope we don’t get rained on like last year - although the rainbow around 6 a.m. in Racine was a big lift. Now that I think of it, I’ve got an e-mail address that you might try - guy was interested a while ago, so it can’t hurt to ask. PM me and I’ll shoot it to you in the a.m. I hope you can round out your roster - this is certainly a blast! Too bad it’s up against Rockman - I’d be there for sure if I wasn’t already committed to GMR.

Try PM’ing Spr-2-cus.
Call Move’in Shoes in Madison (Park Street), they have contacts that might be interested.
