Text Box: Next Team Race: NYRR Team Championship 5 miler and picnic in the Park!

Based on last year, it was a toss up on who yelled the loudest.  So don't miss out and come be a part of the fun and camaraderie!  Runners of all abilities are welcome. It is a 5 mile race and the men's race starts at 8AM and the women's race starts at 9AM.  The bus will leave from the commuter lot (Lot J) of the Palisades Center Mall at 6AM.  The entrance to the lot is across from Home Depot.  The cost for the bus is $10.  Please make checks payable to RRR and send them to Team RRR, P.O. Box 132, Congers, NY  10920.  Also please email me if you'd like to reserve a seat on the bus.  If you plan on arranging your own  transportation to the race, but will be joining us for the picnic, please let me know so we have enough food and beverages for everyone to enjoy. If you like baking feel free to bring something to share. You must register for the race separately at www.nyrr.org.  The cost to register for the race is only $5.  Contact Cheryl Langus for additional information: activities@rocklandroadrunners.org Volunteers and spectators are welcome at the picnic and on the bus.
