From Joe Pulizzano and Tom Hepperle:

Welcome to the Madison-Chicago 200 Relay. To many in and around the Madison / Milwaukee / Chicago area, we may seem familiar (as you may be to us!). We have, in fact, worked in the development and/or production of numerous competitive running events in this region, including one of the largest relay events in the Midwest. Now, with enthusiasm and dedication, we are collaborating to bring you the MC200 Relay.

We are committed to making the MC200 even bigger and better than any effort that we have undertaken before. We are enlisting the support of the cities and towns along the Madison-Milwaukee-Chicago Corridor, the Amateur Ham Radio operators (ARES) of the six counties that you will tour on the course, local clubs and organizations, and running enthusiasts who will volunteer to assist us in making your journey from Madison to Chicago both fun and safe.

For those of you who want to test your foot speed, we have partnered with the Milwaukee Mile - the oldest operating auto-racing track in the United States - located on the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in West Allis. Finish your leg with a lap around the one-mile oval on your way to Chicago.

Our goal is to provide you with the most enjoyable running relay experience in the Midwest.

This race will generate funds to support the mission of Special Olympics of Wisconsin and Illinois. We also ask that you consider joining The Avon Foundation's "Need For Speed Against Domestic Violence" program. Click here for more information on how you can raise funds to support their efforts in our area.

Please contact us with any questions that you may have about the MC200. We'd love to hear from you. We also encourage you to sign up for our monthly newsletter and join our Yahoo Group Message Board. They are good sources of information to help you build your team and prepare for this event.

We hope you will join us in the 2008 running of the Madison-Chicago 200 Relay.

Sincerely,

Joe & Tom
