We have two media days for the athletes! (If there is enough interest, we will add a third day)
Wednesday, August 21 and Tuesday, August 27. Both are from 5-6pm with 4-minute time slots.
This is a fun moment for the athletes to get their picture taken in a few poses. The pictures will be used for a variety of social media posts and other team events. If you wish not to have your photo taken that is ok. This is an optional event. There is no cost involved. Simply pick a time/day, type name into the slot and show up to get your photo taken. Arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time. We will provide you with your team uniform prior to the picture.
We will let you know where the pictures will be taken prior to the date.
Special NOTE: If you select Tuesday, August 27, you will be given the option to get in your run on your own before or after the pictures so that you can look the best for the photos. Just simply post the run to Strava.
