I know this is early but who's doing this race?

If you're interested you need to get in quick before it fills.

one of my favorites, and some of the best premiums in any local race. I'll most likely be there if I'm in town that weekend.

If you haven't registered it looks like the premiums are going fast:

There are about 400 slots still open for this year's Celtic Solstice race.  
About 150 of those are premium spots and 250 are non-premium.  Without any 
further promoting we are expecting those to fill within ten days.  However, by 
posting this information, I also expect to see the registrations jump.

This email is going to registrants of the 2008 Celtic Solstice and 2009 Full 
Moon Run, Dreaded Druid Hills and Falls Road 15k.  Many of you are already 
registered for this year's event, but if you haven't registered yet and plan to 
run, you should consider registering soon.

There will be a small number of walk-up spots available at Falls Road Running 
once online closes.  That number will be determined bythe number of returned 
entries that have been allocated to a local charity.

There's talk of snow for race day. Should make it interesting (I've done it with ice and snow on the ground and light rain other years, but never full on snow). Hope they don't cancel!!

I am registered for this event and was a little worried they may cancel. Looks like you all have raced in the ice and snow in the past so I guess its game on! I may just bring a shovel to make a little extra cash shoveling out cars along the course...

The race is full but with 2000+ registered a bandit would be hard to catch.
