Hi Road Runners,
As spring arrives and we start to think more about training and racing, keep in mind the club’s upcoming events. These events form the core of our club. Increasing participation in them is our goal for 2008.
- Track
- Trophy Series
- Tuesday and Saturday training runs
First, Track practice starts on Wed, April 2 at 6:15pm at Heritage High School. Heritage is located at 1401 West Geddes Ave. in Littleton. Club member Tracy Peterson is the track and xc coach at Heritage. Thank you, Tracy for extending use of the track to RMRR.
Second, the trophy series continues on with the 4 mile race on Sunday, April 6 at 9am at Denver’s City Park. The race starts at the boat house on the west side of the lake. After seeing 122 of you at the February race, our participation took a severe hit in March. Maybe it was the snow and gale force wind? We had 49 hardy souls racing and 10 more volunteers. My thanks to all of you who braved the elements to run or volunteer with us.
Third, the fun runs at Wash Park on Tuesday nights and at deKoevend on Saturday mornings are drawing more participants. Join us for company through 2 laps at Wash Park or on varying distances on the Highline.
Last, the fall Marathon Training Series is back by popular demand. It may be a bit early to think about your fall marathon or ½, but the club has thought about it. We plan races of 10-20 miles in the July – September timeframe. See the website for more details.
In addition to these events, the club will also reach out to new faces by marketing our events more heavily:
- New flyer with our Trophy Series races, Tues/Sat runs, Track and the fall MTS.
- Banners to advertise the club. We’re ordering these to mark the starting line for our races and to take to club events. The design is fresh and new & shows our commitment to getting the RMRR word out.
- Website re-design to make our events and info easier to find.
Last, I continue to be excited about where we are going. I feel the energy all of you are bringing to our events. As the spring running season ramps up, RMRR will be there – promoting the club events you can participate in to Celebrate 50.
