PCVRC Speaker Series, March 31 at 7 PM
Our next speaker in the Pike Creek Valley Running Club speaker series will be Bob Kleszics from Harvest Market. Bob has invited us to the store for a tour and talk “Nutrition on the Run!” on March 31st at 7 PM. Space is limited, so it’s very important to RSVP to Paula Jermyn at . The talk and tour will begin after the store closes and we look forward to seeing good support for one of our own club members and sponsors!
Boston Send-Off, Catherine Rooney’s (Trolley Square), April 16 at 6 PM.
Well, it’s that time of year again! Spring has sprung (kind of) and the Boston Marathon is right around the corner!! This year we will be celebrating those that are going to Boston by holding our annual Boston Send-Off Party on Wednesday, April 16th from 6:00- 9:00pm at Catherine Rooney’s in Trolley Square. No need to RSVP, just drop by anytime between 6 and 9 to congratulate those running the 118th Boston Marathon!
As always the club will provide the food, but the drinks are on you! Come on out and send the runners off in style!
“Track night” update
Changes have come to Coach Fisher’s track nights. They have permanently relocated to St. Mark’s High School track. For the springtime (until mid – May), we are meeting on Wednesday evenings at 5:45 for warm-up, followed by our usual choice of workouts under the guidance of Coach Fisher.
