Volunteers Needed
We need for 12 to 15 volunteers for the Hyannis Marathon / Half Marathon on February 29, 2004. BTT has committed to help support the race director of BA Events and will need volunteers willing to commit about 6 hours on race day. Please contact Evan Israelson for logistics, directions, etc. Also, anybody wishing to run the race can contact Evan about free entries to any distance of the race. BA Events puts the BTT logo on their race shirts and helps increase our exposure in return for us helping at their events. In addition, save the date for the Ras nah Eireann on March 14, 2004, when we will need about another 12 to 15 volunteers to work the finish line.

Race Reports
We've had so many race reports written in 2003 and are looking for more!
