We just opened up registrations for the VMworld Run The Golden Gate Bridge 2009 event! Several options have been discussed and basically they were pros and cons to every single time-slot/date we proposed and we decided to go with two categories and an evening event instead of an early event. We know that this time-slot is not optimal, but we do hope you will all be participating in this great initiative. Not only will you get to see beautiful parts of San Francisco and of course the Golden Gate Bridge, you will also help the “Save The Bay” organization by participating.

Here are the details:
