The Last Waltz 2023

On New Years Eve Day  12/31/23 -

Hosted by the LITTLE PUB in Lordship, a most unique themed event to run, walk, or waltz. 

 
WE ARE ALREADY AT 123 ENTRANTS AS OF 5pm SATURDAY 12/16. WE ARE OFFICIALLY CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND UNDERSTANDING.  I wish we could take more but our agreement with all parties involved was based on our 123 theme numbers. We hope you can join us to volunteer, watch, enjoy, and celebrate a wonderful end of ‘23 at the LITTLE PUB! 

With the date being a once in a lifetime set of consecutive numbers (1-2-3. 1-2-3) we have decided to host an event that revolves around those numbers:

1.23 miles     (You will have the option of 1.23 miles OR 1.23 out & 1.23 back**)

1:23 pm

123 person cap  

(**2.46mi for those without a calculator) Yes we know for some of you this is just NOT long enough- so you can even go farther around this great neighborhood, on your own. But rest assured we will be safely inside, sipping champagne, to welcome your return!

SWAG of sorts-

We will be giving you winter hats. No shirts (but you can wear one if you want).

Everyone (21 & over)  gets a 'split' of champagne AND a half bottle of wine.

'After the event' an adult beverage- or softer version of fluids, your choice.

A FREE KIDS (9 & under) fun run at 1:03pm- prior to the start of the Last Waltz. Directed by the infamous Cat Herder Donna Cramond. {please prepare the little tykes for a "DC" ten minute warmup for the 200 yard long run.)

TIMING- by the ubiquitous Jim Gerweck. Accuracy is his middle name...

REFRESHMENTS-

Grab 'N Go snacks/fluids for those that need to rush off to other NYE adventures

Post run/walk/waltz adult fluids thanks to Doug G & the LITTLE PUB 

LITTLE PUB apps/food specials- have your friends or family join you!

AWARDS-

There will be the usual (or unusual) funky MS Running Productions "up from my basement" stuff. You just never know what it will be and neither do we. We will figure it out before the start.

THANKFUL- For another year of support and cooperation from our town- the Stratford Police, Parks & Rec, DPW, EMS & Fire departments. AND the LITTLE PUB who has made these events possible*

OUR WALTZ CONNECTION-   https://www.musictheoryacademy.com/compositions/waltz/  Please SCROLL DOWN to  the 'Blue Danube' as you register for this unique event and enjoy your day!

Waltz music is written in ¾ time and usually counted in phases as 123, 456. Tempo averages 120 BPM’s for slow waltz but is about twice as fast for the Viennese waltz.   

THE 'OTHER' LAST WALTZ by THE BAND- as suggested by Jim Gerweck (spelled correctly)  https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&p=last+waltz+the+band&type=E211US0G0#id=3&vid=8cea3c4564ae3a2a3701135b0628676a&action=view  (For people our age)
