Please let us know if you are interested in any of these positions. We will have a formal vote on Saturday, June 13th at Panera on the Levee at 9:30 AM. It will be to your advantage to attend, to elect your choice of candidates. Please support this event, we cannot have good choices without everyone’s input.
Next, we have talked with Bryce Carlson, Professor at Purdue and extreme runner that just finished his Race Across America today!! 3100 miles!! What an accomplishment!! He has agreed to come and speak to us on June 16th at 6:30 PM at Sargent Preston’s in downtown Lafayette. He will talk about his epic journey across the USA and his experiences. He will also be available to answer questions. This is a tremendous accomplishment and it should be interesting to hear about his adventures on the roads of America. Please note this on your calendar, come eat, drink and enjoy the stories!!
The next night, June 17th is the second Farmer’s Market 5K. Don’t forget to come and enter so you will be in tip top shape for your next race! The Farmer’s Market will be at Cumberland Park in West Lafayette and registration starts at 5:45 PM. The race will start at 6:30 PM. As usual it will be the same night as the Farmer’s Market so you can fill up on goodies while you are there!
Please plan to come see us at these events and join in the fun at WRRC!!!
Keep running,
