Weekend Blog Update

Club Members:

The Memorial Day weekend brings the first 7:00 am start for SLR, and a weekend closer to the start of summer racing season. Please don't forget the following as you relax this weekend!

1. SLR will start at 7:00 am from Iwo Jima on Saturday morning. See SLR page for details.

2. Check out the new information on the Track Workouts page. Workouts for June through September will be posted over the weekend.

3. Remember our Women's Distance Festival on Sunday June 4th. Volunteers are needed, as well as runners! This is a fun event, and includes a male-only "Run After the Women" 5K starting at 9:15. So, please race, then volunteer, or volunteer, then race!

4. Remember Lawyers Have Heart 10K on Saturday June 10. Volunteers from the Club are needed for some critical race support -- and Club Members can get a $2.00 discount on entry fee in return. If you are going to take advantage of the discount, please bring a friend to volunteer. And please let us know in advance who will be coming.

5. Bunion Derby starts on June 21. There will likely be some changes to the scoring system this year that will reflect volunteer activity as well as racing results. If you are running the series, we really need you to take at least race "off" and volunteer with directing the race, timing, finish line, water stops, or course marshalling. There are 8 races to manage here, and everybody wants to participate in the competition. Don't assume other people will give up their opportunity to compete so that you are able to. Step forward and volunteer to keep this great Summer Series going.

Have a great running weekend!
