FORT TI MILE (January 1st to 10th)
The winner has been selected by the random number generator and that person is Ash Alexander
It could also be called the Marquis de Montcalm Club Challenge, for the course parallels closely Fort Ticonderoga, the base of the Marquis (https://www.facebook.com/FortTico…/posts/10156455784089033).Start the new year with hope and a unique adventure! As we begin 2021, lace your running shoes and run this one mile challenge. Let’s set the stage for a great new year! Start your training now with this challenge. Run the course anytime starting January 1st, and ending on January 10th. Submit your time to Jim or Tim! (Paste Below) Be sure you have renewed your membership (https://lachuterunners.wordpress.com/membership-renewal/).Start and Finished are marked in yellow and hopefully not obscured by snow. It starts near the exit of the fort, (which use to be the entrance), and ends near the ferry. Caution is advised; the time really doesn’t matter. A good idea would be to park in the lot near the Ticonderoga Ferry, and warm up by running up the street to the start. Please get your membership renewal in so you can participate in the club activities.After January 10th, a winner will be chosen. The winner will not be chosen on time but by a random results generator which will select the winner (https://www.randomresult.com/num.php ). How will this be done? If you did the run 2 times, for instance, and if you were the third and sixth person to post results, your lottery numbers would be 3 and 6. If there were 20 runs on the course, then there would be the number 20 entered into the generator as the maximum. Claude would then click the button and a winner will be determined. Claude promises a unique award tor the winner!
