Check out the Premiere 2007 CSU Yin Yang Series!
This year we are introducing what is sure to become a new CSU tradition -- the Yin Yang Race Series! A friendly competition among CSU members, this year’s Series includes 5 local races, evenly spread over the season and T-accessible. Bonus points awarded for volunteering.
Here is how it works: You must be a CSU member, wear CSU gear, and run at least 2 of the races to participate. Scoring is simple. In each race, the first-place CSU finisher by gender gets 15 points, second place 14 points, etc.; no one gets less than 5 points. If only 5 CSUers show up for a race (for shame!!!), then the lowest CSU finisher would get 11 points. Bonus points will be awarded for volunteering at the Corporate Challenge, Mt. Washington Road Race & the Tufts 10K (2 points each)!!!
Prizes will be awarded at the Annual Recognition Party for the top CSU female and male Yin Yang scorers. The series features 2 Fresh Pond races, a USATF Grand Prix race, a NER Pub Race, and a local race deserving more exposure.
After each race a report will be posted on CSU’s web site, summarizing the race and providing the results and overall standings. Watch for your June/July Calendar which contains a CSU orange application for the June 17th Flag Day 5k in Brookline! Your September/October Calendar will have the applications for Ollie's 5M and Paddy's Shuffle. You can register for the Fresh Pond races the day of the race.
The races are:
Sunday, June 17 10:30am Flag Day 5K Brookline
Thursday, July 19 6:30pm Fresh Pond Race Cambridge
Saturday, August 18 10:00am Fresh Pond Race Cambridge
Sunday, September 8 10:00am Ollie’s 5M South Boston
Sunday, October 21 11:30am Paddy’s Shuffle 3M Newton
