I’m excited about the direction of our club.   We had 37 new runners join the regular RMRR crew for the 9 mile race on the Big Dry Creek Trail.   Those 37 brought our total to 112 runners for the day.  When you add the November race on to our full year total, we have 1,193 runners racing with us.  This total is the best total in 5 years and we still have the December race coming up.

When you add our non-running volunteers, we had 1300 people participating in our Trophy Series.  Whoo hoo!

Our 5oth anniversary celebration this summer genereated local interest and our great group of volunteers kept up the momentum.   See what all the buzz is about by joining us for the last race of 2009.  We’ll go 4.5 miles at Wash Park on Sunday, 12/6.

RMRR was well-represented at the Denver Marathon, Half Marathon and at the 22.5 mile Aid Station.  Special congratulations go to Tristan Mitchell for his 6th place overall finish in the marathon (2:45)  Whew!!  And, David Rothenburger placed third in his age group (3:03).  Also, Scott Kukel finished 28 of men, David Rothenburger 32th and Dave Cook 57th.  Results.

The marathon runners give a big Thank You to our aid station volunteers:  Rosalie Richter, Olga Hnizdil, Rhiannon Fadeyibi, Luke Jeter, Janice O’Grady, Tom O’Connell, Lis Shepard, Tom Mates, Larry Mundron, Jerry Greenwald, Brian Bergevin, Stephanie Struble, and Karen Voss.
