Pat's Run Registration & Shirt Update

The Lucky Devils Fund raising/ Team Registration is available! Click here to check it out. From this page, you can see who is registered with the team, make a donation to the Tillman Foundation and event join! There is a link at the top of the page that takes you to registration. You will need to create an account with Active.com. Once you select the race and enter your information, be sure to select LUCKY DEVILS as your team. The Team password is "godevils" I'm not sure if it's case sensitive, so try the other way if it doesn't work the first time!

We had a lot of fun last year and hope you and your friends and your family can join us April 17, 2010 for another great day! Check out our photos from last year by clicking here.

IF YOU HAVEN'T ORDERED A RACE SHIRT:
Please fill out an official Lucky Devils Racing Shirt FORM to order a shirt for the PF Changs Races. I would like to place another order by January 4 to have enough shirts for everyone at the Marathon and Half Marathon so I need AT LEAST 12 shirts. If you aren't doing PF Changs, but want a shirt, please order NOW! That will save us time and money for April. I will do another order in April if the demand is there.

Let me know if you have any questions!

So, we will take a pass this Saturday and pick back up with regular sessions starting on Sept 12. Same time, same place.

If anyone would like to go walking this Saturday, I plan on walking the bike path on the North side of Squaw Peak Mountain. Just e-mail me and let me know if you want to tag along. It's a 6 mile loop if you start at my house. You can meet me in the park if you don't want to go the full 6 miles.
