Come out and cheer on Mike Frogley and his amazing, dedicated NIWBT Champion student-athletes for a night of fun.

I know this is short notice, but the 5th Annual Ultimate Basketball Challenge is this Wednesday night at Huff Hall.  Doors open at 5:30,  with the festivities starting at 6.  Tickets are $5/person at the door.  This is a fundraiser for the men and women wheelchair basketball programs and coaches vs cancer.  Plus, it’s just a lot of fun!!  The men and women of the U of I wheelchair and varsity teams play a friendly (mostly) game of wheelchair basketball.  It is a good chance to meet some dedicated student-athletes and watch them have some fun.

Here is the information to sign-up online for the marathon aid station and below are a few details on what will happen race day.

It’s quick and easy, just click this link: Illinois Marathon Volunteer Sign-up, select “Grace Community Church” for the Group Name, and enter the password: findinggrace

You will be asked to fill out a form, including shirt size for your volunteer shirt, and that’s it! You will receive a confirmation e-mail after signing up. Everyone needs to sign up individually, this lets the marathon organizers know that the aid station will be fully staffed and makes sure you get a t-shirt in the correct size : )

Some details…
The Illinois Marathon is Saturday May 1st, 2010.   We are at the same site as last year (north side of Kirby, just west of Duncan), but due to course changes our aid station is mile 19.1 (last year we were mile 15).   We should have a schedule similar to last year.  The runners have 4 more miles to reach our aid station, but the race starts a half hour earlier, so we should see our first runner at 9:15-9:30 and the last one somewhere around 12:30.  The crazy busy time will be about 10-11 and we should be cleaned up and done by 1:00. If your schedule is tight and you are able to help during the busy time (10-11), that would be great.  We will need some people to come early to setup, so let me know if you can do this (7:30-8ish).

If you have any questions, please come talk to me. That’s about it. Sign-up, it will be a blast!!
