Bunion Derby to Start; Members Meeting June 21

DCRRC Members and Guests:

The Bunion Derby commences with the Hugh Jascourt 4-Miler on Wednesday, June 21, 2006, at Fletcher's Boat House. The event will be run on the C&O Canal Towpath.

Remember that there is NO entry fee for Club Members to these races -- entry fee remains $5.00 for non-Club Members. Until July 1, non-Club Members can join the Club for the low fee of $12.00/year. Dues raise to $20/year after July 1.

Weather looks hot, but otherwise good for Wednesday's race. Note Club policy that in the presence of thunder and lightning, we will postpone or cancel the start of these summertime races.

The second Bunion Derby race is next Tuesday, June 27th, at the Landon School in Bethesda. This is a 3-Mile cross-country event.

After the race on June 21, we will hold a brief all-Members meeting to discuss and vote on proposals to spend in excess of $1000.00 on timing equipment for our races.

Finally (for now), we are looking for a Race Director(s) for the ever-popular Bastille Day 4-Miler on Friday July 14th. This is a perfect opportunity for those racing the Rockville Twi-Lighter on July 15th to take a night off and volunteer. The race is run from Fletcher's Boathouse, in and back on the Capital Crescent Trail. Please contact me if you can help out in any capacity.

Run well, and remember to hydrate frequently, and with adequate sodium, during this weather.
