2013 World’s Toughest 10k Results

We have chosen two different charities. The first is the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). They have created a specific fund for Boston victims. The CAF helps amputees return to competitive racing, be in in running, triathlon, or other sports.

The second charity is The One Fund Boston. It was created specifically to help the victims affected by the bombing.

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

Registration will open at 5 p.m. at ABQ Running Shop.  Our address is 6550 Holly Ave NE, Suite D-2. There is absolutely no cost to join and run with us.  If you can’t make it until after the run starts, that is fine!

If you can’t run, we could use 8-10 volunteers for checking people in, handing out water, and to be course monitors.  Please e-mail randy@abqrunningshop.com if you can help.

All runners and walkers must check in to ABQ Running Shop, sign the waiver, and get a bib number.  We will mark off your number for each lap completed.

The course is NOT closed to traffic and we ask everyone to stay on the sidewalks.  Please obey all traffic lights and street signs and WATCH OUT FOR CARS!  Please be courteous to your fellow walkers and runners.

Although we are normally very dog friendly, we ask that you keep your pups at home tonight. We’re expecting a huge crowd and don’t want anyone to be tangled up in leashes.

We will have a water stop out on the course.  Gatorade will be available at the water stop as well as inside ABQ Running Shop.  Please don’t litter!

We’d like to thank Angie Kandalaft of Chasing 3 Race Productions, as well.  She is helping to provide many of the materials, bib numbers, and supplies.

From Paseo del Norte/I-25, head east.  Make the first left onto San Pedro and then the first right on Holly.  We will be on the right side about .25 miles down, inside Holly Plaza.

Now, go off and run!  For every race you attend (or one you volunteer at) with our shirt on, you’ll get a credit.  Based on the number of credits you have, you’ll get the following discount:

1 credit: 10% off
3 credits: 15% off
6+ credits: 20% off

When you complete a race or volunteer at a race, send the information to runningclub@abqrunningshop.com.

We’ll tally things up here and keep a running (haha!) total.  The discount will be good for the remainder of the year and then reset again on January 1st, 2014.

We will have special group purchases for items throughout the year, saving you extra money on the gear you purchase most.  You’ll also get special discounts to ABQ Running Shop sponsored and directed events.

As another part of this, we would ask everyone to volunteer once or twice throughout the year at various races and events.  Our favorite races wouldn’t happen without the numerous volunteers helping out.

If you want to sign up, send your name and e-mail address to runningclub@abqrunningshop.com.
