Alan's Journal

alan brookes Dear Fellow Runners,

Five weeks to go to “M-Day” -- I hope we’re all hanging in as we approach the crunch, both in terms of the build to the crescendo of your training over the next 3 weeks, and ditto for us in organizing in the office?
There’s so much to do, I’ll keep this week’s Journal short.

However, DO click on the links above and check out the terrific 2010 finishers’ medals and very attractive souvenir-style bib numbers. They really came out GREAT and all so much a part of a memorable experience on September 26th.

Speaking of souvenirs, BROOKS will be introducing some new fashion-oriented, Official Merchandise apparel very soon, for rewards that will keep us motivated for the final push. Keep an eye on the Online Shop on http://www.stwm.ca.

NEXT week, we’ll have the first of several MAJOR announcements for STWM weekend, including a stunning Programme for our over-arching 2010 theme; some of the top international athletes now confirmed for the Start Lists – will we see new fastest-ever times on Canadian soil for women as well as men this year? ; and we’ll have a new 2010 “Pick the Champions” contest, where you can vote online to select the top 3 men’s and women’s finishers in this year’s race. It’s free to vote, you can vote as many times as you like, and you can win a Trip for 2 to your favourite CRS2011 race.

And remember, if you want all the inside scoop – the announcements before the public announcement -- DO sign up to follow me on Twitter, where you’ll get all the latest news as it happens. http://www.twitter.com/alnbrookes

Finally, don’t forget the August 23rd price increase if you still need to enter STWM events AND the September 4th deadline to get your first name printed on your bib.

Gotta run…Good luck to us all on the home stretch!,

Alan
