I created a map if you need to get an idea where to find Fast Fleet for your packet pickup.

Who says these maps are for running only?

The starting point is after you cross the Missouri River. It should be only 4-5 miles from your lodging area.

EM,

I sure would love to go instead of running our last looooong mileage for our training. HMMM, sitting drinking beers watching the game or running with aching legs, hips and hams!! What would I rather do.

Good luck to you and everyone who is running this weekend! The weather sounds perfect for some good running times. Let us know when ya get back.

Troy is a machine!! What an awesome time. Will he go next year? I wasn't sure if you had to run within the year you qualify.

Congrats to all who ran. It sounded like the weather was perfect for the race.

I think I remember reading you've got 2 years to use it. So either 2008 or 2009.
