Across the Years News

The normal rates for this hotel (and they’re one of the less expensive places in the area) usually range from $129 to $144 per night. If you mention that you're with the Across The Years running group, they will give you a room for $69 +tax per night for the days from - 12/27/07 to 12/30/07. The rates will go up to $79 on the 31^st and then to $129 on the 1^st.

This is a very busy time of the year for the area hotels.

Once again, Dr. Andy Lovy and Chris O'Louglin will be back to assist you during the run. They have been a key part of this event for the past number of years now and their assistance has saved many a runner from throwing in the towel early. For those of you that haven't already read it, we've dedicated a page on our website with some of Andy's thoughts and experiences: http://www.acrosstheyears.com/andy.html

As all of you that have run at ATY before already know, Andy and Chris also like to run in the event and they do this while assisting other runners that are in need of aid during the duration of the event. There have been years that they have been so overworked; we have wondered how they've managed as many miles as they have. Andy now has 1137 lifetime miles and Chris has 778. These two individuals are simply amazing!

New this year, in an attempt to ease the work load on Andy and Chris, we'll also have available the medical assistance of Kachina Rescue. My son and I have used Kachina for the past two years now, at the annual running of the Javelina Jundred and have found them to be very runner friendly and extremely professional. We're very pleased to have them on board.

Kachina Rescue has asked that all ATY participants please visit their website and fill out the questionnaire that is provided. All information submitted on this form will be sent directly to the officer charged with coordinating this event for Kachina Rescue. The information will only be used to provide care, should it be needed to the participant. Information will only be shared with medical providers directly involved with patient care and Kachina Rescue's medical director. Kachina Rescue does not bill individuals for their services, however; should a patient require EMS transportation to the hospital, the transport provider will bill the patient/patient's insurance for their services. If you have any questions, please submit them using this form.

Kachina Rescue will be providing pre-event foot taping for blister prevention as well. This is a free service. If you are interested in this service, please fill out the form and check the box on the form for the pre-taping.

In the past, Chris O'Loughlin has also provided pre-event taping. If you'd like to contact Chris about taping or anything else, he can be reached at: yogarhythms@gmail.com

Thanks,

Rodger Wrublik (Your ATY Host)
