The Winter Fun Run at Can-Do Park introduced some of us Pike Creekers to the some of the Greenway Trail on the north side of Wilmington. From that site one could run into Wilmington, out to Brandywine Creek St. Pk., or all the way out to Fox Point St. Park on the Delaware River. Even though I only run about six and a half miles, my quads paid for the hills. About a dozen came to the brunch afterward at Kid Shelleen’s and a quorum of the board even made a decision on an award at the meal was ending.
Broad Street Run – From Ed Maher of USATF:
Following is information regarding Broad Street Run registration that was discussed during our “Club Call” phone conference yesterday evening.
The Broad Street Run opens for registration on Wednesday Feb. 15, 2012 at 10:00am. his race has reached its entry limit of 30,000 runners in increasingly shorter timeframes in the past few years. In 2011 the race sold out within five days. If the race sells out in an even shorter timeframe this year, we realize it’s possible some USATF Mid-Atlantic members may be unsuccessful in registering.
To address this possibility, the Mid-Atlantic LDR Committee, in cooperation with the Broad Street Run race organizers, have established the following process:
1. This process only applies to 2012 USATF Mid-Atlantic members of record as of Feb. 14, 2012. i.e. the day prior to Broad Street opening for registration. Not sure if you are a member? You can check your membership via the National USATF web site here: Membership Number Lookup We will also periodically update the “2012 USATF Mid-Atlantic Members” link on the Long Distance Running page on the Mid-Atlantic web site. It currently reflects Mid-Atlantic members as of 1/12/12.
2. USATF Mid-Atlantic 2012 members who are unsuccessful in registering for the race before registration closes due to the race reaching its entry limit should immediately notify our Grand Prix coordinator, Ed Maher, by email at:
3. Our Grand Prix coordinator will verify the individual’s membership (USATF membership record as of midnight Feb. 14, 2012) and provide the member with a code, specific to that member, which will enable them to register for the race within five days after the race closes due to reaching its entry limit.
Please pass this information along to your Mid-Atlantic club members. This information will also be posted on the Grand Prix page on the USATF Mid-Atlantic web site and distributed by email to members of record by email similar to the distribution of the mid-Atlantic Newsletter. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of individuals ensuring their 2012 Mid-Atlantic membership is current by Feb. 14, 2012 in order to be accommodated with this process.

Three Club Challenge 5K
2012-02-19 Sunday Feb 19 at 2:00pm
Location: White Clay Creek State Park
5K trail race team competition between PCVRC, Delaware Running Club and Middletown Athletic Club will be held at White Clay Creek State Park’s 5k XC on Sunday, Feb. 19 at 2pm. There is no park entry fee nor will there be a race entry fee. Afterwards, we can all head to the Deer Park for drinks, food, etc…
If you haven’t done a trail race, this would be a good way to check it out since course is not technical. It will be age graded and all are invited to participate. Come out to run or to just support our team.
Scoring will be as follows…
Seven runners score.
One runner under 30
Two runners over 50
Two females
An under 30 female would count as two requirements, as an example.
We may even have professional timing done by NOVA!
RSVP to Rich with your name/age as far in advance as possible:
— and thank-you to Rich for organizing!
