This week, we received a message from Howard Sharp, 2011 Great Race Grand Champion. He’s excited about this year’s Great Race, especially the stop in his hometown of Fairport, New York. Here’s what he had to say:

“I would like to invite all previous Great Race participants who are not in this year’s event to be my guest at this years Great Race lunch stop in Fairport, New York on June 28th on the historic Erie Canal. You will be having lunch in a private sitting with all your Great Race friends. You will also receive a commemorative t-shirt if you attend. We need your reservation & t- shirt size by June 10th. Please reply to [email protected].”
