Runners,
For any of you that attended the Jay Cooperrider 5K today you probably noticed a Tri-Flyer of WRRC events. It is a very snazzy condensed version of each of the event flyers, the Farmer’s Market 5K, the new Trail Run Series we are hosting and finally a NEW 10 mile Trail Race that will be on August 17th.
We are excited to offer for the first time some trail runs for runners in the area. The 10 mile Trail race, named The River Run is going to be organized and directed by our Race Director, Jay Hodde and Co-Race Director, Corey Linkel. Jay has already set up the sign up with Ultrsignup, the same company we used for the Circular Logic Marathon. This race will be an organized event with age group awards, times, shirts, etc. Anyone can sign up starting May 1.
We will be starting our Farmer’s Market Series on May 15th and the Tri-N-Run group has been gracious enough to direct this Series of races again this year. Most of you are familiar with this race and know if you are a member you can run for free, anyone else is just $3.
The Trail run Series is a new event with 3 races of various lengths, a 5K, 8K and 12K, in that order. This is done as preparation for the 10 mile Race in August. The first one of these will be on June 5th. Fleet Feet Sports and their group has offered to direct this Series. Please see these flyers that are attached for more detail if you are interested in any of these events.
All of us have been working hard to offer more to the members and we would like to also have a social event this year besides the RITNY. A summer event where we could get together and socialize to better get to know each other.
Hopefully these events are diversified enough that each runner can find a race or run that they would enjoy. The club is not just about running, as someone reminded me recently, it is about support, friendship and advice among other things.
Keep running and be happy,
Cyndi Meacham
