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:

Come join us for the first VMworld Fun Run. This event is only open to registered attendees of VMworld 2009 conference, sponsoring companies, partner companies and others associated with VMworld 2009. Event badges will be required to participate.
Course
The course will take the runner over the Golden Gate Bridge and back. We are planning on a 5K course and a 10K course. The exact distance(s) may change due to logistics.

Hi Duncan, that’s in miles, right? I think if I do this run, I can’t walk for the rest of the event. The last time I ran was 3 years ago…

Did we get to 200 people? Last I heard it was around 135…
