The KLT 2008 race is well on its way to being sold out at least a month in advance of the race date. Last year the event sold out at packet pick up the night before. We increased the max number of participants for 2008 and and we are still on record pace. The entry fee increases March 15th. Get in before the price goes up.
The Council for Responsible Sport (CRS) has selected the KLT as a "seedling" event to take place in the certification process to help us Green Up our event. We are trying to make the KLT more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Check them out at: http://www.responsiblesporting.org/
<http://www.responsiblesporting.org/>
How can you help?
1) Carbon Offsets - Athletes have the change to offset their cabon emissions when traveling to the race during the registation process using OMR.org's green registration system. Score This!!! has selected Carbon Fund as the recipient. One Million Revolution software calculates how much carbon you would put into the atmosphere by using some simple math based on the size of your vehicle and its efficiency.
* CarbonFund: <http://www.carbonfund.org> CarbonFund is a non-profit
organization based in Silver Spring, Maryland. CarbonFund supports renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects globally that reduce carbon dioxide emissions and the threat of climate change.
2) Participant Carpooling - KLT participants can use the interactive registration map to locate athletes that they may be able to carpool with. This helps reduce the amount of carbon emission by half.
* Participant Map:
http://onemillionrevolutions.org/reg/map.jsp?eventID=59
3) Recycling - All Score This!!! Multisport Series events in 2008 will institute a recycling program. Please keep your eyes open for for the paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and general garbage bins this year.
4) Sneaker Return - Please bring your old running shoes that are of no use to you anymore and place them in the collection bin. We will box them up and donate them on behalf of the race to a soon to be determined charity. We are looking for a local charity right in the Penn Yan Keuka Park area.
5) Charitable Giving - Since the inception of this event the original race director Jay Hollister started giving back to the American Red Cross of Yates County. Since that time the race has given back almost $15,000 to help the ARC with its helping of others.
6) Check the website to see what else we have in store: http://keukalaketri.com
Would you like to race for free?
If so please email us with their name and email or phone number and we would be more than happy to take that lead. If it creates a title sponsor for an event or the entire series you race free for 2008. Don't forget to include your contact info so we can send you the good news.

We feel honored to have been able to help so many children who are already involved in running; however, our goal is to benefit every child who would like to participate in the fun, healthy sport of running. Benefits of participation in sports are well documented; not only does it promote healthier lifestyles, it has the added benefit of keeping kids more focused on staying in school as well as seeking higher education.
