In other news, Nat G. is putting together a team for the Great Grain Relay and is looking for some female runners for the team.

The event is held on Sat Feb 27, 12-2pm, teams of 5. Each member will run 800 then pass the sponge to the next member to run 800m etc for a total of 2 hours. The team with the highest number of laps wins.

It’s $100 for a team of 5 and the proceeds (while it’s called the Great Grain Relay) actually go to Juvenile Diabetes. It’s held at the Field house at U of M.

If interested, speak directly with Nat G. or to me and I will pass along the message.
