**********************************************
***** Day-at-the-Races Sunday, Sept 14th *****
**********************************************

Please join runners from the Northport Running Club, Massapequa Road
Runners and other Long Island running clubs for a nice afternoon at
beautiful Belmont Race Track on Sunday, Sept 14th. Come down, bring a
cooler with food, beer, whatever, and enjoy betting a few dollars on
your favorite horse, or just enjoy a nice day in the park. Note that
beverages in GLASS BOTTLES are NOT ALLOWED in the park, so opt for cans
or plastic.

Members of the NRC and MRR have done this day-at-the races most years
since 2003, and have had a good turnout and a lot of fun.  If you have
never been there before, Belmont Park is set on a beautiful park-like
grounds, with an area of picnic tables nicely shaded by trees. We will
be gathering on the lawn picnic area right behind the paddock. The park
is large, but where we will meet is not hard to find. Pack a picnic
lunch, bring some lawn chairs, and your coolers. Just make sure you do
not bring in any GLASS containers. They will not be allowed on the
grounds.

Directions - Take Southern State Parkway to the Cross Island Parkway
North. The first exit is Belmont (gates opens at 10:45am), or take
Northern State Parkway to Cross Island South. Enter the track at the main
(paddock) entrance. We will be meeting on the lawn picnic area which is
just up the path on the right about 100 feet or so.

It will be very easy to find, but if somehow you get lost just ask where
the paddock is, and we will be just behind it on the lawn (right across
from the big Carvel stand).

The first race is off at 1:00pm. We will meet starting around 12:15pm
and will be re-grouping at the picnic area after each and every race, so
come when you can. Bring your friends and family, and come join us for a
fun day. Oh yeah, bring a few dollars if you care to wager. Otherwise,
just enjoy the bands, playground, and the good company.
