I had sent an a-mail late last year which unfortunately might have been filtered out by your server When we spoke you advised me to send you a letter outlining our needs. guess the first question is, Who was Terry Huberty? .Terry was a superb athlete who grew up in Hastings. He was a marathon runner and a nationally recognized champion race walker. It was always one of his hopes to bring a road race to Hastings. Terry was killed on August 9, 1978 while out on a training run.The following year his family held the first Terry Huberty Memorial Races that took place annually for the next ten years. This year, to mark the 30th year of Terry s passing, myself and Terry s other sisters and brothers (our parents are now deceased) have decided to once again hold the races that were a dream of-his to honor him. The following are addi- tional specifics. Terry Huberty Memorial Races August 9, 2008 I Ok Run at 8:30 am and 2 mile fun run at 9 am (times are tentative) The race course starts at the Hastings Middle School and then heads out Pine Street and turns up 14th Street. It turns left on Westview Drive and curves around the the Hastings Country CIub.The 3.1 mile turn-around is on Westview Drive just past Louis Lane near Pine Street My family as I ve mentioned, has put this event on some ten times now. We are experienced with what needs to be done for organizing it and would appreciate any help or advice you and the Staff at The City of Hastings could offer as well. We know we will need to speak to the School District for use of the Middle School facilities. We will need police help with blocking off some intersections for runners safety.We will need to use some barricades and pylons from the Streets Department. We will need to be in contact with other safety personell where needed as well. We are first asking permission from the city to be able to continue our planning. From there, I would be happy to meet with you to discuss the other details. We are excited to be able to do this great event once more and thank you for your help. I can be reached on my cell at 952-261-6302 to discuss details and such.
