Delco Spring Fling – Every year Delco RRC hosts a Spring Extravaganza for all club members. This year we want your input as to what you would like to do. Please click on the following link and let us hear from you. Last year we held a casino night which was a big hit. But you choose one that we listed or add one of your own. Thank you sooo much for taking the time to do this. Click Here to take survey.
Women's Distance Festival - It was a great day, with wonderful weather and even better company. We had 105 register, and just a few no-shows. The runners could get pre- and post-race massages from Glenn and Chuck of Optimum Physical Therapy. Nolan Painting set up a water-stop on the course. The Running Place donated gift certificates for the top three winners--Sara McNally, Courtney Stanton, and Grace Mancini—and the store also held a raffle, giving away a Moving Comfort Sports bra to five winners of the drawing: Donna Bierling, Gina Bell, Connie Huston, Suzanne Lelan and Beth Scolis. Sponsors lucy and RuppFitness.com had a table at the race, Whole Foods Market provided the tasty treats, and sponsors DrLeeCohen.com, Brazill Insurance, and Gormley Electric were on site. Run the Day Race Management timed the race, and copies of the Women’s Yellow Pages were in every race bag.
Thanks to everyone. I hope to see you back again next year.
