Trophy Series – January Race

5K

– Results weren’t posted; now fixed, table on website.

– people liked the 5k. We had 15 runners.

Trophy Race – February Race

– good shape for volunteers

– resolving turnaround issues for south turn. Why? Carson Nature Center folks are concerned about congestion and bothering their visitors, so they don’t want us to use the roundabout at their entrance for our turn. They likely don’t understand the size of our races.

Resolution: move our turn a bit north of the roundabout, and consider adjusting other mile markers to suit.

– We need someone new to handle photo cropping and posting for races. Deb’s been doing it for several years, getting tired of the post-race work. Someone who can share?

– Van is fixed, ready for emissions test. Dave C will get that done this month.

Banquet

– Went well, venue still works for us. Discussed other possibilities, but no resolution.

– Volunteer Awards – were not available night of banquet. Volunteer jackets are here and we will give them out at Sunday’s race. Race Director shirts are still in process.

Volunteers of the Month

– Teresa and Brent Jockers for setting up the tent and heater at the January race. That saved us major headaches on a snowy, cold day!

Social Activities / Marketing

– Wed Long Runs: We will begin promoting more/slower people joining in soon when Dave C can participate. Will just use Facebook to get the word out.

– Track Workouts: Summer and Fall workouts can be at Denver South’s nice track; spring is TBD. Deb should know more in next couple of weeks. 

Father’s Day Mile

– Location – Near Bandimere Race Track (business park area) or City Park (Ridgegate downhill but too far south for Friday night)? Need to resolve this soon. David will talk with Ray to move this along.

– Socks or Bag as signup gift? David showed a nice bag that would cost around $5.

Other Topics

– Still need a race director for the April 30 Stapleton race.  (later determined this was Mike Blanchard & Janet Fairs)

– Need to understand where we are with raffle giveaway stuff – David check with Kevin D.

– need to take “Run Free with RMRR” cards to running stores. (or simply a more structured, assigned approach to who takes on what stores, what everyone is doing – is Kevin managing this?)
