My name is Joe Pulizzano, I am the Race Director for the upcoming
Great Midwest Relay running event slated for June of 2005.
Below I have summarized the nature of the event.
The Great Midwest Relay will be the beginning of what is expected to
be the largest relay and fitness exposition event located in the
Heartland of the United States. Great Lakes Sports will be presenting
this summer classic on June 10th and 11th, 2005. The event will link
the scenic southwestern towns and cities of Wisconsin and Illinois
with Chicago's beautiful lakefront.
Utilizing Wisconsin's' and Illinois' scenic bike trails and paths, the
course route heads 170 miles east. Intermixed with small sections of
Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago's urban neighborhoods add to the course
makeup. The key for this event is to get, not only city and town
involvement, but the participating states, Wisconsin and Illinois,
involved also. The interconnecting cities and towns along the way
would serve as transfer/support areas for the competing teams. In
addition, we have partnered with Special Olympics as our cause group.
They also will be participating in the event as a competing team.
We hope you will consider participating. www.greatmidwestrealy.com
