Fluid Station Mile 3A

This is a fun opportunity to be part of a NYC tradition and provide much-needed service. Troop 23 has always been well represented and we expect tomorrow will be no different. The weather forecast is looking absolutely beautiful. The runners will need all the help they can get. (We will also get a chance to give a big cheer to Ms. Ngai as she zips by us.) This event to not just for scouts; adults are welcome.

NYRR should be providing customary poncho. No worries about Class A or B. I highly encourage you to wear a Troop 23 baseball cap.

Please register As Soon As Possible so this NYRR organizer can get an accurate count to appropriately plan resources. When you go to select the Group you represent, please select "Boy Scout Troop #13 and #23". We want a strong representation from T23. Yes, parents, siblings, friends, etc. can come and help. Yes, you can drink all the water and Gatorade you desire. (I really hope they give us another warm hat to add to my collection.)
