Hi all. Once again we will be having a Philly Runners totally awesome and ridiculously gourmet post Philadelphia Distance Run picnic and barbecue on Sunday, September 21. For those of you who have been around for some time, you can skip directly to the part where you RSVP.
What: Philly Runners totally awesome and ridiculously gourmet post-race picnic and barbecue.
When: Sunday, September 21. Roughly 11:00am. The race starts at 7:30am. With any luck, I'll run it in under two hours, cross the finish line, walk to wherever I parked my car, drive it up to the picnic site, unload it, throw some burgers on the grill. If you're at the picnic site before me, stick around and you'll be able to help me set up when I get there.
Where: Lemon Hill. Across the street from Lloyd Hall, up the steps, cross the street at the top. Map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit?mid=1faSE717FVCCMbW_BoUHcTpQ8wbKVj9MK&usp=sharing
Who: You! All Philly Runners, whether or not you are running the half-marathon or 5K. Your significant other, friends, kids and dogs are also welcome. Pretty much anybody reading this who wants to come hang out with a bunch of folks who just ran 13.1 miles or 5K and eat organic hamburgers with us is welcome. Just let me know you're coming (more on that below).
Why: Because you just ran a race and you're hungry and you don't know anywhere else within walking distance of the finish line serving organic hamburgers at 11:00 in the morning. Or perhaps you didn't just run a race, but you want to come celebrate with those who did, and, while you're at it, you might as well eat some organic hamburgers at 11:00am.
How much: A $20 contribution to the cost of this gourmet picnic will be very much appreciated.
Bring: Yourself and any other cool people you want to hang with. You do not need to bring anything else. If you have some dietary restriction you think I will not be able to accommodate or you have some truly unique food you would like to share with others, that's cool, but please do not feel obligated to bring anything. I plan the purchase of food on the assumption that nobody is bringing anything else.
RSVP: By Thursday, September 18 at 4pm. RSVP by posting here on the Facebook event or on our message board. Please do not RSVP by emailing me, telling me in person, fax, phone or any other way you can think of. This is where I count how many people are coming and it's much easier when everybody is in the same place. When RSVP'ing, please indicate how many people will be in your party and if you have any veggies/vegans or other dietary restrictions. I am willing/able to accommodate any reasonable request provided you give me a heads-up.
Everybody is always welcome, even if you don’t RSVP. I generally have extra food, but an RSVP is really appreciated and an RSVP by THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 18 at 4PM is really really appreciated. But a late RSVP is better than no RSVP.
Looking forward to seeing a bunch of hungry runners on Sunday, September 21!
