#24819

Don't worry, this won't be a post about the 24,819 reasons why I am decided to run another marathon...






#24819 will be my identity on April 18th and incase you blink or loose me in the crowd of 27,000 singlet wearing/gatorade drinking/rather be sleeping/maybe even working/tired of training runners, you can always track this way:

***in your "TO" field enter 345678 and in your "MESSAGE" section enter RUNNER--then directions will follow in which you will need my bib number #24819***


For those of you that "DON'T DO TEXTING" (JP!!), you have other ways to receive alerts (the following is brought to you by www.baa.org--I will take credit for the CTRL C-CTRL V command techniques):

• EMAIL - Continue to the registration page for the AT&T Athlete Alert on the race website. Sign-up using your mobile phone number for SMS text message updates, or by entering an email address for email updates. Click here to sign up now.
  
• ONSITE - If you prefer to register in person or have any questions, representatives will be available in the Bib Number Pick-Up area at the John Hancock Sports & Fitness Expo on Friday, April 15, from 2:00pm-7:00pm, and on Saturday and Sunday, April 16 and 17, from 9:00am-6:00pm.

If you register a mobile phone online, you will receive a message asking you to confirm your intention to receive updates from the 2011 Boston Marathon AT&T Athlete Alert. Once you’ve completed registration for AT&T Athlete Alert, you will receive text updates courtesy of AT&T and the Boston Marathon when your runner has crossed the following points on the course:

10K
Half-Marathon
30K
Finish

Registration through the BAA website will close on race day, April 18th, at 6:00am. However, AT&T is pleased to announce that registration via mobile phone text messaging (for US mobile phones only) will remain open during the marathon.
