Here is the deal yo…
it is Unfortunate that the liability insurance, a flipping grand o’ $700, only limits us to:
200 runners
50 skaters
50 zombie shamblers
Why? Because the cost comes from the Skaterboard aspect of the event. A normal run would cost about $200-$400 tops with about 200-400 participants. I’ve checked with many liability insurance companies and most won’t event touch a skate/run. The two I did find each gave me a quote of around $700 with stipulation to keep the number of participants under 300 or they would charge up towards $1000. Sucks, but such is life.
This all means:
EMAIL ME ASAP FOR A REGISTRATION FORM STARTING TODAY TO BE SURE TO HAVE A SPOT IN THE FUN RUN/SKATE AND WALK.
You have to mail it back to me or stop by the IMAX and drop it off with payment. All participants have to sign two waivers one for liability and one for conditions of the race. What you get in your email is 2 pdf files:
1. An info Pack
2. Registration form with map and conditions
It is going to be a fun and awesome time. The first ever of it’s kind in the the U.S. Everybody has to dress up as a zombie or at least attempt it to make this work. We want the town of East Syracuse to remember the day 200 zombies ran, skated and shambled through their village.
This event will be posted on the Fleet Feet website calendar the first week of May. Meaning: you all have the opportunity to register first and be guaranteed a spot. Once it gets posted on Fleet Feet over 10,000 runners will have a crack at it.
Kwicky Mart and I put together some awesome prizes for best looking Zombie for the Walk. Top 3 skaters will get gift certificates from Black Mamba Skate Shop in Mattydale. We haven’t decided what the top 3 runners will get. Regarding the Zombie shamblers; before you walk you will have the chance to win a prize. Here is the contest:
Best Moan
Best Shamble
Best looking Zombie
Once you do those three together you go about your walk on the route in East Syracuse. At the end of the walk you will find out if you have won. If you dress up as a zombie to run or skate you won’t have the chance to win for moan, shamble or best looking, you compete to see you gets to the finish line first to get a prize.
Granted some of this will change because of unforseen stuff, but this is the plan for now. We are doing the run/skate/walk and that is it.
We have some goals to reach for the Golisano Children’s Hospital. Lets raise some money!!!
