May President’s Blog

101 of you came out for the 5 miler at Stapleton’s City Park.  The day was cool with some people in winter running gear & others sporting shorts and T-shirts.

John Meyer of the Denver Post was at the race, taking photos and interviewing club members about the upcoming 50th anniversary.  The club will be featured in a story on the front page of the sports section the day before the Bolder Boulder.   Aurora Arlet, the club’s PR Director, worked with John to arrange the media day.

Two new course records were set at the May race, the second time we’ve run on the Stapleton course.  Congratulations to Mike Blanchard, racewalk recordholder with a time of 39:05/7:44 pace.  Scott Kukel set the Men’s record with a time of 23:11 or 5:48 pace.

Next up for the club is our 50th Anniversary.  The fun starts with at 2 mile race at Bible Park on Sunday, May 31.  This race is followed by a kid’s fun run and a pancake breakfast.
