This is it… time to Punch the Turkey out of Cancer & Turkey Punch a whole lot of people to what F3 & FiA is about.  That’s right, there is a PAX combo of F3 & FiA currently registered with the F3 Nation Turkey Punchers team to run the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this Saturday October 3rd.

THE THANG:

If anyone would like to #ClownCar up to Charlotte we will meet at Sullivan Middle School at 0515. Wheels up at 0530.

TIME: Here’s the race day schedule CLICK HERE or just read it here.

• Registration/Packet Pickup – 0600
• Teams Village Opens – 0600
• Timed 5K Run –  0715
• Recreational 5K Walk/Run (un-timed) – 0750

RALLY POINT in Charlotte will be near the Start line along E. 3rd St between Davidson St & S. McDowell in the team village.  Look for a shovel flag. With that said, If anyone has a shovel flag(s) for this event please bring it.  See Map .

PARKING is all over the place.  If you use one of the preferred parking sites I believe it is free parking during the event.  Just have some form of payment ready just in case.

PRE-RACE: Time permitting there will be a little pre-race warm up.  There will be a lot of walkers in the un-timed race so we will need to try and get to the front near the start line so we wont have to dodge a bunch of people once the race starts.

UNIFORM OF THE DAY: F3 or FiA shirt if you have one. Also this is a breast cancer awareness run so wearing pink is also in order.

POST RACE: Either meet up at COT around shovel flag until the 6 finishes and/or wait at the finish line cheering on our team mates as they finish. REQUIRED: Team photo pre or post race. so don’t leave unless we’ve taken a team picture.

All AO’s are still open Saturday – The Patriot has the honor of having Deacon and Peach beat you down. The Fort you should have some fun with Dark Helmet.

In closing, thanks to all PAX and their M’s for signing up for this race.  In 2003 I lost my sister to breast cancer at the age of 31. I’ve participated in the RFTC in some form or fashion since then.  I’m sure there are those of you who have been affected or know someone who has been affected by breast cancer or any form of cancer.  Before her death I shared with my sister JoAnna the verse John 11:4 after Jesus was told of Lazarus’ death. Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that the son may be glorified through it.”  It really opened her eyes to her condition that even though cancer was eating her away from the inside out, that Jesus would be glorified through her pain.  Thus the team name “F3 Nation Turkey Punchers“… So lets go out there Punch the Turkey out of Cancer so #SkyQ will be glorified & hopefully one day through your efforts a cure for cancer will be discovered.

It’s still not too late to sign up – even if you don’t sign up come out and support your F3 Bros. See you Saturday.

Popeye out!
