* Good evening everyone! I'm relatively new to the area, and new to the group. Just curious, is anyone running the Loopy Looper 12 Hour Challenge in Pennsauken, New Jersey on August 1st?
Just looking to see if anyone is putting in the miles for that race?!
Hello Pike Creek Runner! In case you have not heard, ***the 2020 Delaware Distance Classic (DDC) is officially canceled**.* We're sorry this had to be done but think people can understand the circumstances!
For those already registered, you will have the option of deferring your entry until 2021, getting a refund or donating all or part of your entry to the Nemours Foundation (our charity partner).
A little secret - PCVRC is planning an "alternative event" for this same date. Much more low key and acceptably social distanced. Watch this space for more details - but keep that date open!
What are Sunday group runs @ Panera looking like these days?
