Holiday Party: Another Fun Time for All
Last evening Pike Creek Valley Running Club held its annual holiday party at Timothy’s Restaurant in Newark. Well over 50 people came out, including several members whom most hadn’t previously met and a few new club members.
Along with the catching up of news on old friends and their running feats, club officials briefly spoke to emphasize the importance of club members being involved in the club’s signature event, the Delaware Distance Classic 15K. Money raised from the event in October contributed $3,500 to charity organizations and groups which helped at the race, plus several thousand more to help underwrite all that the club will do in the coming year. People are encouraged to join the DDC race committee. Contact information is here: http://www.pcvrc.com/contact.php
PCVRC 2012 Mid-Atlantic USATF Season Summary: From Tom Steenkamer:
The Pike Creek Valley Running Club recently completed a highly successful season of competition in the Mid-Atlantic USATF Grand Prix (road) and Off-Road (trail) race series.
In the Grand Prix series PVRC finished with our best performance since 2009 finishing in 4th place out of the 14 regional clubs competing in the road series. An exciting finish to the season at the Philadelphia Marathon weekend produced our highest club total age score for the year and propelled PCVRC past rival Greater Philly TC into 4th place. The club narrowly missed finishing in 3rd place as South Jersey AC held onto a 5 point advantage over PCVRC in the final points total. The Grand Prix season finale club standings are posted on the MA-USATF web site.
