We would like to field several five-person teams for this year s Philadelphia Distance Run scheduled for Sunday, September 16. This well-organized race, on a fast, flat course, is one of the premier half-marathons in the country and is an excellent tune-up for a fall marathon.
Jim McQuade will be doing the organizing, so if you would like to run the Philly Distance Run with CPTC, contact Jim at jmcquade@orrick.com before June 15, which is the early registration deadline. Once we have a final list of CPTC entrants, Jim will register the teams. If you plan to run as part of a CPTC team, please do not register for the race independently.
Please talk to your coach, either Tony or Devon, before committing yourself to this race. When considering doing this race, please bear in mind that there is a NYRR scoring race on that same day (the Fred Lebow Cross Country 5k in Van Cortland Park), and there is a half-marathon NYRR team scoring race (Grete s Gallop) on October 6.
