New race in Utah
Hey all,
Just a short announcement of a new race in Utah next March 18th. The Antelope Island Buffalo Run 25k/50k.
Here's your chance to run where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play (oh, give me a home etc.).
Antelope Island State Park is on the largest island (28,000 acres) in the Great Salt Lake. There are about 45 miles of trails there with 500 head of buffalo to dodge. Sometime they move, sometimes they don't. Anyone in the Salt Lake area who's run these trails enjoy's them. We have a website, but it's not up and running yet. http://www.buffalorun.org
I'm a trail patrol volunteer out there and a couple of us have thought it would be a great place to have a run. Your entry will include entrance to the island and all the usual race festivities. We will be renting a group campsite that will be available Friday night. We're going to try and have a ranger there for kid's activities as well.
That time of year will be cool, but not necessarily cold and no bugs. I ran all winter out there last year and the vast majority of the time the trails were clear of snow and in great shape.
So mark your calendars for March 18th, 2006.

Make Poverty History
MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY
Australians speaking out
http://www.makepovertyhistory.com.au
Dear
With two weeks to go till the UN Millennium Summit your support is more crucial than ever. Your efforts are bearing fruit with signs that the Prime Minister will be attending.
This is yet to be confirmed - so if you haven't emailed him and asked him to go then please do so now.
Australia is increasingly looking the odd one out with no plans to increase aid or better target the Millennium Development Goals it agreed to support in 2000.
But you are helping to put the pressure on. In an amazing effort, tens of thousands have signed postcards which we delivered last week to the Government, courtesy of Foreign Affairs Parliamentary Secretary Bruce Bilson. Along with the thousands of emails and the more than 350,000 people wearing white bands, we are starting a rumble.
But it's still only just beginning to be heard.
The UN Summit in New York from 14 - 16 September will focus on progress made towards achieving the Millenium Development Goals, providing a platform for world leaders to take action to improve the lives of more than a billion people living in poverty.
Before they get to that platform we want to have ten days to shake the world.
Here are five things you can do in the next couple of weeks to help make the shake:
1. Wear your white band
2. White band your dog, home, workplace, church.....
3. Join in on, or organise, an event
4. Send flowers to your Coalition MP
5. See Further Actions for more or if you are a Canberran, join in on the "flash mobs"
You'll have even more impact if your friends and family are involved - forward them this email and ask them to subscribe to further updates.
New research (PDF: 235KB) from the campaign has shown that increasing Australian Overseas Aid to an interim 0.5% of Gross National Income, just an extra 1% of our Federal Budget, could bring new opportunities for up to 32 million people in South East Asia alone, including:
40,000 less child deaths per year
Safe drinking water for almost 11 million people
Basic education for 60,000 more children
18,000 less deaths each year from HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis
1,200 less women dying during childbirth each year
Thanks once again for helping to make poverty history.
STOP PRESS: Whitebands can now be bought from your HMV Music store as well as at Oxfam stores or on the web.

Fleet Feet Grand Slam - Huntsville version
Fleet Feet Sports of Huntsville, AL is holding its
Grand Slam again this year, consisting of four
races:
1. Dizzy Fifties Trail Ultra (50K/40M/50M) - Nov 19th
2. Rocket City Marathon - Dec 10th
3. Recover from the Holidays 50k - Dec 31st
4. Mountain Mist 50K - Jan 28th
Dizzy Fifties, Rocket City, and Mountain Mist are all
Huntsville Track Club events, and forms for each can
be found at their website under 'Events':
http://www.huntsvilletrackclub.org
Recover from the Holidays 50K is a 'Fat Ass' ultra,
and entry forms for it can be obtained from
Fleet Feet Sports of Huntsville - see Suzanne's e-mail
above.
There is a separate entry fee for the Slam - I think it
is $15 before October 1st, and $30 thereafter. The
Dizzy Fifties entry fee goes from $20 to $30 on
October 1st as well, so now's the time to get your
entries in. A Slam finisher award will be given to
all individuals who complete all four events after
registering.
The HTC is a non-profit, so other than not wanting
to go in the hole too deep for the club, I have no real
financial interest in the above.
