Run the Davis Mile and Stay for Free Brunch by Linda M. Hall

The next PAUSATF race is the Davis Mile on Sunday July 9th. We are hoping to have a lot of Chips teams in this race so please enter the race and come to Davis. As a special incentive for Chips who run in this race, Linda Hall is inviting all Chips runners to her house at 300 Sandpiper Drive, Davis for a free brunch after the race. Brunch will begin after Linda has completed her race (super senior women) and will last until 1 pm or so. Showers are available at Linda's house (please bring your own towels) and there is a pool to cool off in after the race (bring your suit). This brunch is completely free (compliments of Linda) and is open to all Chips, their friends, and, of course, "Chips wanna be's". If a 1 mile race is not enough running for you, Linda's house is on the Davis bike path so you can easily add some extra miles before or after the race. Please let Linda know in advance of race day if you will attend the brunch so that she knows how much food to prepare! (email: linhall@ucdavis.edu or answering machine 530-297-7670)

We hope that if you are not already a member of PAUSATF you will join prior to this race so that we can score you on one of the Chips age group teams. To join, go to

www.pausatf.org

Click the red "Join Now!" button on the right side. Make certain to add our team number....Buffalo Chips are team #104.

We want as many team members as possible. You don't have to be fast to help a Chips team. All you have to do is finish standing up and smiling (and we are flexible about the smiling part!). REALLY. (You should also wear some clothing item that identifies you as a chip.) Teams require a certain minimum number (3-5 people depending on age and sex group) to score. So it doesn't matter how fast the fastest people are, if there is not a complete team, we will not get team points. Even a last place finisher (which I have been!) can help the scoring, but you must be a current member of Chips and a current USATF member to score. Team points often bring money into the club. The team scoring adds to the visibility of our club and helps in recruiting members because our teams welcome everyone, not just an elite few. Any questions, please contact Linda Hall at

Hope to see you in Davis on July 9th!

To get to Linda’s house, go north on F St. Cross Covell and continue north for another mile to the flashing yellow light at Anderson. Turn left on Anderson and then immediately turn right at Sandpiper. Sandpiper curves around to the left. Linda’s house is the pink one on the left corner of the curve(with black wrought iron fence & a pool in the back). The address is 300 Sandpiper Drive. Home phone: 530-297-7670
