At our annual meeting, we give out these awards:
Runner of the Year – these are people we admire for their outstanding running/athletic abilities.
Member of the Year – these are people we admire for their contributions to PCVRC & running.
Rookie of the Year – this is the new person on the running scene (any age).
Volunteer of the Year – this is the person who we can count on to “be there.”
We also recognize multiple members for “Outstanding Achievements”.
Surely you know someone in our club who deserves one of these awards? Send your nominations to now!
Our Spring Social/Boston Sendoff is scheduled for April 10th. Mark your calendars!
Racing/USATF
The mid-Atlantic Grand Prix road series returns this Saturday February 23rd with the Frostbite 5 miler in Amber, PA on February 23rd. If you are planning to run, let us know so you can join us for any post-race get-together.
This year’s race schedule is unchanged from 2018. The race schedule is located here – http://mausatf.com/grandprix-events/
2019 marks the return of the USATF Club National XC Championship races to the Lehigh University campus on the first weekend in December. Clubs from all over the country compete as teams running cross country courses with distances of 6k for women, and 10k for men. In 2014 the club chartered a coach bus to take over 60 club members to this event. We are hoping that we can bring another large group of runners to this famous XC venue and have a great day of running and socializing!
DDC
Yes, we are starting already. Mark your calendars for October 13th. If you have any interest in serving on the race committee let Dirk or Dan Suher () know.
Meetups
Our weekly running meet-ups continue: Thursdays at 6PM at Delcastle Recreation; and Sundays 8AM at Panera on Main Street Newark. We get routine requests from potential club members and out-of-state runners if we are still having these, the answer is “YES.”
