Road Runners,

Last year was a great year.  The club successfully celebrated 50 years of running and we hosted the most runners in our TS races = 1258 for the year.  That’s an average of 105 participants in each race.

We want to build on that success in 2010.   The club’s goal in 2010 will be to engage our members in ways beyond the trophy series and MTS races.  How?  We’re thinking about it.  Maybe posts for training runs and training partners, maybe gatherings to see professionals race locally, maybe events with other clubs.  We’ll be defining the idea in the next few months and you’ll hear more about it in the future.

January’s TS was balmy compared to December.  103 of you, 75 members, raced out at Twin Lakes park.  It’s a great start to the year and I look forward to seeing you out there!
