SUMMARY:41st NIH Institute Relay
DESCRIPTION:Limited Spots Remain\nIt’s time for the 41st NIH Institute Challenge Relay and we’re doing it holiday themed again.  Can your team defeat the defending champs “pep in your steptide”? Santa (team captains) gather your reindeer (runners) and elves (volunteers) and come up with a creative team name and holiday themed outfits or ugly holiday sweaters if you choose to get really festive. Examples from last year’s Relay include: Keta-mean Pace\, Splice Girls\, Virus in the Brain Brigade\, Pace of Aging\, Fast Spiking Sprinterneurons\, Lymph Laugh Love\, Ctrl+Alt+Defeat and Between a Walk and a Hard Pace. \nThe rules are the same…the Relay consists of teams of five runners each who run a holiday half-mile (.54 mile loop) around Bldg. 1. All Institutes\, Centers\, Divisions\, and Contractors are invited to enter as many teams as they wish. Each team must have a mixture of male and female representation. \nThe race will be held Thursday\, November 5th in front of Bldg. 1\, with a rain date of Nov. 10th if conditions are unsafe. Race packets will be available to pick-up at the Bldg. 31 R&W Gift Shop on November 3rd and 4th and the registration table in front of Bldg. 1 beginning at 10:30am on race day with Heat 1 beginning at 11:45am. We anticipate having three heats this year with a maximum of 50 teams per heat. \nTake the next few weeks to gather for jogs around Bldg. 1 or join the fitness centers at Bldg. 31 or Rockledge for a run on the treadmill or elliptical or Bldg. 53 to focus on weight training. The relay is a great reason to set a new fitness goal while preparing for a fun event and R&W is waiving the gym membership start-up fee ($40) in September and October. \nThe most important part of the race is to have fun and enjoy the company of your fellow NIHers. Remember\, contractor teams are welcome as well as more than one team per Institute. Get your sneakers ready for some action.  It’s going to be fun!  We ask that each group leader also provide the name and contact info for one volunteer. To volunteer or for more info contact David Browne. \nRegistration thru October 18th – $25 (after October 18th – $30) can be done here. Participating runners and volunteers will receive a free Relay T-Shirt  (first 125 teams) and free scoop of ice cream or hot chocolate from Ben & Jerry’s (all runners and volunteers)\, while supplies last\, both courtesy of Contemporaries. \nExhibitor Fair Vendors include: TBD \nTeam Registration: Thru October 11th – $25 (per team) \nTeam Registration: October 11th – October 27th (if space available) – $30 (per team) \nRegistration Table – 10:30am \nOpening Remarks – 11:25am \nWarm-up – 11:35am \nFirst Heat – 11:45am \nSecond Heat – 12:15pm \nThird Heat – 12:45pm
