No International Runner Services in 2007
In 2007 we have no international runner services coordinator available to assist runners traveling from other countries with accommodations, transportation and the like. Instead, we recommend that any runners with special needs in this regard make use of the Across the Years Discussion Group on Google, which is a newly formed email list that may be used by anyone to discuss any aspect of the race. We highly recommend that all persons with a strong interest in Across the Years, including those who hope to run, subscribe to this list in order to keep informed, and especially to ask questions. We are expecting to use the group as a primary channel of communication during this race year.

Work Weekend & Javelina Spots Have Been Filled
(Revised on 05/05/07)
Thanks to everyone that came forward and offered to help out with the work weekend for this years running of Across The Years. All of those spots have been filled. Thanks also to all of those that have committed to taking on the captain spots at Javelina. Those spots have also been filled. Even though all of the "Guarenteed Entry" volunteer spots have been taken, we're always looking for more volunteers for both Javelina and Across The Years. Helping out will improve your chances at getting into ATY.
If you're interested in helping out at either Across The Years or Javelina Jundred, feel free to email us at: nardinimanor@qwest.net

ATY in Google Groups
We have recently changed our discussion channel from a ZombieRunner forum to a Google Group called (guess what?): Across the Years. To view and/or this, visit
Across the Years Google Group
A group is a highly configurable email list, viewable from a browser, and searchable just lke anything else in Google. You may set your own options to receive postings to any group by email, or you may read it from your browser.
This group is presently open to the public for both reading and posting. It will serve best as a place for people to ask questions about the race, and particularly for registered runners to discuss questions among themselves, e.g., regarding coordinating transportation, and finding accommodations. But discussion is not limited in any way.
At this writing there is only one post, an introductory explanation from your cheerful webmaster.
We wish to thank ZombieRunners Don and Gillian for providing use of the forum last year, and for their sponsorship of Across the Years, which we hope to see continue in 2007.

Recent News
We're posting this update to let everyone know that we're still alive, that there wil be an Across the Years race at Nardini Manor in 2007, and that work is ongoing in making preparations.
It will be a few weeks before there is much more to say. Best estimates are that registration will open somewhere around the end of May or early June. There will be an approximately two-month window of opportunity for everyone who wishes to be in the race to register. Previous runners and subscribers to the Ultra list will be given advance notice of the registration starting date.
Some people will be admitted automatically and others will be subjected to a lottery. The ATY organizers do not intend to publish the criteria of its randomized lottery process, because we believe there is no such thing as "fair" in these matters, and because in posting some arbitrary set of selection "rules" we would thereby become subjects for criticism and suggestions on how we could make it "better." Think of ATY as basically an invitational, where some persons will be invited at random among those requesting entry.
There will be no need to rush to register. Being among the first will not give anyone more of an advantage over someone who registers at the last minute.
