Metro Dash Boston 2010
So about two weeks ago I received an email from Sean, the Director of Metro Dash. He asked if I would be interested in entering his race.
Now being in my fortunate position I get alot of these from different race directors and event holders. Between fundraisers, charity runs, fitness product suppliers, and so on and so forth. So every time I’m a bit skeptical of an event legitimacy.
But after checking Metro Dash out I decided I will be entering the 2010 Boston event on August 7th in South Boston.
Below is a picture of the flyer.
It should be a 10k (6.2 miles) with interval workouts intermixed at scattered physical challenge points. And fancies something rather cool called The Gauntlet: an extreme urban obstacle course.
I’m actually pretty excited about this race. Not as much as I was for Death Race but still ambitious.
This is the email I received from Sean:
Hi Rob,
I am the race director for Metro Dash which is an insane 10k urban obstacle course. Metro Dash will be crushing souls in Boston on 8/7/10. The event was specifically designed for CrossFit, boot camp, and other similar style functional training gyms. Metro Dash is the ultimate test of athleticism. Competitors run city streets in search of scattered physical challenge points, power through intense interval workouts, and conquer “The Gauntlet,” our extreme urban obstacle course. I have no doubt that your clients would be very interested in this event. Registration is currently open and is capped at 200 athletes. We also give competitors the option to fundraise for the Navy SEAL Warrior Fund in exchange for a discounted registration.
Please check out www.metrodash.com for more information about the event as well as specific information for Boston. I have also attached a flyer to this email if you would like to print it out and share it with your gym clients. We offer a great race and rely on word of mouth marketing to get the word out about Metro Dash, so any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
Cheers,
Sean
That being said I’m entering.
If I like it you’ll know about it and so will my Marshfield fitness studio clients at Robert Belley Fitness.
I’ll keep you posted to my experience 😉
Till then, stay cool, and stay dry,
And live the dream.
Rob
