June 05, 2008 - Heartbreak Hill: Registration opens tomorrow!
 Just a few miles west of downtown Boston, this exciting new circuit race will start and finish in Newton Centre, climbing up the legendary Heartbreak Hill once per lap (5.1 mile loop.) Bring your friends and family to this race, it's going to be a giant block party with 5K and 10K running races followed by a full afternoon of pro-am bicycle racing. Proceeds from the event help the Lance Armstrong Foundation in their battle against cancer. For more information about the race, please visit http://www.bolocorace.com
Acquia presents New England Race Week, 6/28-7/6
The Boloco Heartbreak Hill Grand Prix will be the 2nd event in New England Race Week, offering eight days of racing across four states with over $75,000 in prize money! For more information about NERW, please visit http://www.newenglandraceweek.com
It pays to tell your friends & family!
You can win great prizes for referring runners to the Boloco Heartbreak Hill Grand Prix 5K & 10K races. Just tell them to list your name for the "How did you hear about the race?" question on registration. We'll tally up the referrals on race day and award $100, $50 and $25 gift cards from Boloco to the top three referrers, respectively. The winner (or their guest) will also get to ride in the pace car during the bicycle race, (and more prizes coming soon!)
Volunteers race for free!
We are seeking volunteers to help with several aspects of the event prior to race day, including registration, course sweeping and the (always popular) stuffing of race-bags. We also need course marshals to help keep everyone safe during the full afternoon of bike races. There will be two marshal crews; crew 1 will be on course from 1-4pm while crew 2 will be on course from 4-6:30pm. If interested in helping, please register online for your race and then email me for more information. All volunteers will receive a refund of their race entry fee at the event as well as free entry into next year's race.
Host housing needed!
Many of the pro cyclists are inquiring about host housing for New England Race Week. If you live within ~20 miles of Boston and have space for a few cyclists and their gear, please consider helping these guys out with free accommodations. Please email me for more information.
THANK YOU!
