Wasatch Back Relay



Hey Everybody! It's been a while, but that's 'cause it's been a crazy summer. And now we're gearing up for the Wasatch Back Relay.

"What's the WBR," you ask? Well, not only is it one of the coolest events of the summer, but listen to this: It's a crazy 170 mile foot race from Logan to Park City to be ran in 24 hours! Teams of 12 runners each run and run and keep running. They started this morning (Friday) and will end sometime tomorrow (Saturday). Along the way there's music, stuff to buy, and other cool stuff like vans and reporters and runners and probably some snacks. Anyway, check out www.wasatchbackrelay.com for more info on the race--it's getting national attention and drawing runners from all over the country- and this is only it's second year. A very cool event.

In fact, maybe the coolest part is that you don't have to run in it to have fun. Come up to City Park in Park City (it's cooler up there) on Saturday and spend the day shopping, eating, and joining us at the finish line. The Grey Effect will be performing along with Dave Peery and we'll be doing the sound for 'em.

In fact, if you come see us at the sound booth, I've got a pair of tickets to The Flying Ace All-Stars Freestyle Big Air Show at Utah Olympic Park. Oh- and they're Pool Deck VIP passes. We'll be at the finish line from 6AM 'till 6PM, and the tickets will be first-come, first-serve.

The first runners should cross the finish line around 8am (keep in mind they started running on Friday), and the last around 5pm- Award ceremony will be at 6pm. Come say "Hi" if you make it up there!

We might even do an audio blog while we're running the board, so if you can't make it up to Park City, you might get to hear some of the music anyway- check back and we'll let you know.
