Leadville Silver Rush 50 Trail Run (work, friends, drive)

[stoymonkey]

My brother is running the 50 mile marathon in Leadville this Sunday, the 20th. I'm hoping someone who is going to watch the racers or be at the finish line can make a simple sign for me/my family to surprise my brother. He tends to finish in the top 5 and I can send a picture or two so you can recognize him. We would really appreciate this and he would love it. Let me know if anyone is available!

We would, if we could afford the gas to drive out to Leadville!

Thanks, anyway. Anybody else?

Hi! I am running the leadville 50 on sunday. i have a few friends coming to cheer me on. i can ask them to hold a sign for your brother. he will come in way before me, so can't be 100% sure that they will be at the finish when he crosses.

That would be so great! If you want to double check with them. Are you ok to make the sign for me?

[carholden]

as long as you are not expecting a work of art

[stoymonkey]

this is very much appreciated! He will be so happy, and so am i. All it has to say is "Go Pocono Damian! Love, your family" I will tell him to look for something. Could you let me know if your friends will be at the finish line or along the trail. Im not sure what the course is like, if it's a loop or something. But Thanks so much and Good luck to you, too!

its and out and back race. they plan to be at different locations along the trail, he should keep his eyes out along the way. its less likely they will be at the finish at the time he crosses, assuming that i will be far behind.

Carholden, just wanted to say thanks again and good luck. i told my brother to keep an eye out on the sidelines.
