MIND and SOLE – STRONG AS STEELE 5K (fun run/walk)  at NARST

Fun run

We are gearing up for our second annual Mind and Sole Run to be held concurrent with the NARST annual meeting* on March 31st, 6am – 7:15am! This is a 5k fun run, walk, etc. — a time to get together with friends and enjoy the beautiful early Pittsburgh morning!

1) To help us with a t-shirt headcount (we will be arranging for technical shirts again), sign up by Feb 15th. You can sign up later than Feb 15th to participate, but after that date we cannot guarantee a t-shirt. Also, shirts will NOT be mailed and you must pick up your shirt at NARST or it will be given away.

2) You can sign up for the run, as well as to volunteer, here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MINDandSOLE
