Call for USATF trail runners!
Our next USATF off-road trail race the Triple Crown 10k is this Saturday at White Clay Creek State Park in Newark. This is a very runnable trail course through White Clay up to the PA state line and back.
We need your support! At this time we are short of a full team due to the VF race on Sunday, Boston recovery, as well as injuries. We must have 5 finishers to count for the team to keep us in the series! This is a great chance to score for our club. Day of registration is available for the TC10k and they provide a great post-race BBQ! Race details are at http://www.udel.edu/johnmack/traildawgs/tc/
Grand Prix too!
The next Grand Prix event is this weekend’s Valley Forge Revolutionary Run 5 Miler.

Registrants can pick up their packets from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on SATURDAY, April 26. National Park regulations prohibit monetary transactions in the park so there is ABSOLUTELY NO DAY OF RACE REGISTRATION!
