Subject: RE: Whens reg for Westchester Toughman start? First off, let me thank all of you for the buzz and comments concerning our new race. Below is our press release that I hope you have seen before. I am sorry for the quick change in event venues. We are doing our best to get the website updated as quickly as possible and should have everything done by the end of next week. The date was unavoidable this yr and next year will be diff. Most importantly the event is a GO!, and I am hoping to see anyone who wants to do a 1/2 out there on race day. This is the only 1/2 in Westchester and only 30min from NYC, NJ,and LI. And the course is beautiful. As I was the chairman of a local very popular triathlon for years I know we will have a very good event. Our team includes many of the same people that were part of my committee in the past and some very capable hands that most will recognize. We have Chosen The Boomer Esiason Foundation as our main charity to donate funds to. Team Boomer, the endurance team will be racing Toughman and raising funds for Cystic Fibrosis. Very shortly you will be hearing Boomer's radio show on WFAN talk about our event. For more info on Team Boomer go to [email protected] I am also pleased to announce the addition of ForeScout Technologies as our purse sponsor, Gatorade endurance as our drink sponsor and True Motion as our age group apparel sponsor. There are many more sponsor announcements to come and the goody bag should have some really great things. As a triathlete racer for the last 20yrs, and having been a part of putting on a major triathlon for 12yrs, I am looking forward to this event being a premier event in the future. Much Much More to come.......... I am pleased to announce the Inaugural WESTCHESTER TOUGHMAN 1/2IM which will take place on Sept 21st at Croton Point Park. The race course features a beautiful one loop 1.2m swim in a protected cove of the Hudson river , a scenic 56m loop through upper Westchester, and a rolling 13.1m run around Croton Point Park with a scenic out/back section around Croton on Hudson. Registration will open up on weds 6/18/08 and be limited to 500 participants. Awards to include a sizable race purse to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, overall men and women. Relays are welcome. |
