Help wanted in Nimes-Montpellier area ....................

Hello Peter,

Please find attached, a more detailed description of the pedestrian

races our club is organising, together with Nîmes Marathon, a runners

club in Nîmes.

It is estimated that we will need about 160 helpers and hope to find these volunteers in our area.

It would be very nice if you could publish the information in the

Brit Nîmes association and any other medium where we could recruit

voluntary helpers.

All the helpers are invited to join the pasta party, which takes

place after the arrival in the Sommières arena. The wine for this party

is supplied graciously by the Domaine de La Coste-Moynier.

There are 6 races, as follows:

- Semi-marathon

- 10 Km (counting for the French national championship). This race

took place last year and was heavily overbooked. We stopped the

registration at 400 more than a week before the race, and had to refuse

about 200 people on the day of the race. In 2008 we have limited at 500

people. The registration is already open at the indicated websites and

we expect that again this year we will have to refuse people.

- 5 Km

- 500 m junior kid race

- 800 m kid race

- Run Generation (one parent or grand-parent with a child)

We expect in total around 1.200 people participating in the various

races and are especially eager to get as much as possible children to

participate. For the kids there will be an inflated game park, which

will be free for all.

Entertainment will be done by Pom Pom girls and several musical

groups along the racing tracks and also a DJ in the arena where the

pasta party will take place.

I am programming visits from September in the various schools of the area for reaching as much as possible kids

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Volunteers can contact me, preferably by mail, for registration.

Thank you very much for any help you can give to find participants and helpers
