Written by Edward Grant

Club Members and Guests:

1. October Track Workouts: We will be on the track on WEDNESDAYS October 18 and 25. The track is open to us on those evenings. Thus, we will NOT be moving the workouts to Tuesday nights. Please spread the word.

Workout for October 18 will be 800M repeats at 5K pace, number and intensity dependent on your personal race schedule. Workout for October 25 will be 400M repeats at 10K pace with 100M rest.

 

2. Landon School Cross-Country Meet: On Saturday, October 14, the Club will provide finish line services at an invitational high school cross-country meet at the Landon School in Bethesda. The Open 3-Mile X-C race will be held at 12:30, not 5:15 as previously indicated. Please consider volunteering for this event. It's a long day, so if you can only come for a portion, that is fine.

3. Thanksgiving Day 5-Miler: This is the Club's biggest race, and biggest revenue-producer, of the year! Volunteers are urgently needed to staff the finish line. Please contact Assistant Race Director Susan Hage at HageS@usa.redcross.org if you can help. Race is at 10:00 am starting at the Cora Kelley Scholl in the Del Ray section of Alexandria.

Please note that the Snowball Series will include a requirement of volunteering at a Club race in order to be eligible for an age-group award. Volunteering at the Turkey Trot will satisfy this requirement for the 2005-2006 Snowball Series.

Enjoy the great running weather that October brings!
