    @avidkeo - Good luck with your relay and have fun!!
    @pastorvincent - personally I would take an Uber from the finish to get to the start if the race doesn't provide any transportation. That serves 2 purposes - a) you don't have to get so cold walking and b) you don't have to go so early. If you don't have an old throw away jacket or sweatshirt like @Teresa502 mentioned I would use a large trash bag. It is amazing how warm they will keep you and they keep the wind out.

    Hmm an uber. Maybe. But it might be surge pricing or whatever it is called. It is like a 25 min or so walk. There is a shuttle from Finish to start, but it will not start running until about an hour after the race starts. I wish they had just set up a loop like any reasonable race so that start/finish were the same or at least close.
    You'd think they'd do a shuttle before the race for the runners. But maybe the available buses all fell into that sinkhole!

    Maybe! That sinkhole is ON THE RACE ROUTE. In fact, it is pretty close to the finish line. :smiley:

    Don't fall in! Unless you decide to dress like the bus for the race. Someone needs to. Might help keep you warm?

    Hey, keep at it! Join us in December and then in January and in February and in March when we'll compare weather and bugs and how wet it is, and then in April when it finally feels like the world is alive and then join in May... 😊
