3rd Annual RHPC 1/2 Marathon

So the 3rd annual RHPC 1/2 marathon is set and ready to go!  Saturday July 16th, same bat time, same bat channel ;) ...Ok, just the same place and time :) ..no bats ALLOWED! ..unless they are pink and covered with chocolate ;)

The address is 450 W 4620 N, Provo Utah.  This is the same place where the race was last year.  The easiest way to get there is to take the Orem Center Street Exit off of I-15 and head East (toward the mountains ;)--YES- Orem, NOT Provo.  This road will magically change into 4800 N in Provo as you head east.  You are going to turn right at 300 West.  (It is the light before the light that you turn into The Riverwoods Shopping Center.)  There is a large sign that says "Vintage....something" ;)   After you turn, this road is going to eventually veer right.  As it veers right, there is a parking lot on your left, Pavilions and bathrooms.  Park here, this is where we are going to start at 6:30 AM SHARP! :)  Please arrive by 6:15am.  This will be an out and back course up and down the Provo River Trail.  Same as last year.

Michelle will be defending the coveted RHPC Rooster and her title as Queen of the RHPC.  There should be some pretty stiff competition.  This rooster is HOT!  EVERYONE wants that rooster for their coffee table!  McKenzie.. you know you want it back ;)

To register for this 1/2 marathon, all you need to do is email me at meltingmarion@gmail.com .  Simple and easy :)  There is no fee to enter the race.  You just must bring a prize for another runner that has to do with our theme this year, "KISS"  (Keep it simple Sista!).  This is my theme for life this year and since I am sending out the email ...I made it the theme for the RHPC 1/2 ;D  Also, you will need to bring your favorite treat to share at the end for a post race treat bash!  We had the best food last year.

Please let us know if it is your first half.  We have special awards for the first timers :)  And, please feel free to forward this to any other runners who might like to participate.  We will have the trail marked for those who would like to do shorter distances :)  5k, 10k and 10 miles.

Men are welcome.  We really love having the guys around to protect us... oops, I mean protect others from us ;)  I mean REALLY, who would dare attack a bunch of crazy women dressed in hot pink tutu's with tiaras made of Hershey Kisses :)

Please PLEASE please, dress up in your best Red Hot Pink Chick attire (it's our only protection).  You guys looked GREAT last year!  Are the fish net gloves still around????

Oh, and remember that this is not an official race.  You will need to bring your own water and fuel for the run.  There are drinking fountains along the route, two going up, and the same two going back down.  There will be NO aid stations.  The RHPC 1/2 t is officially a training run with a bunch of crazy women (and brave men) in costume with treats at the end!!
We have had SO much fun these past two years!  Please join us.  ALL are welcome, we really just need to know how many, so please PLEASE email me if you are coming!!  meltingmarion@gmail.com

PS- we do need some help with a few things like cups, napkins and 5 gallon water jugs with water or Gatorade :)  Also, anyone want to make the Virgin Awards this year???  We can do t-shirts if anyone wants to be in charge of that.  Just let me know asap :)  AND, anyone want to do the finisher medals?  Anyone???  I think that's it.  Michelle will, very reluctantly, be bringing the rooster with her for the grand prize.
