PCVRC Newark Reservoir 5K fun run recap
Last Friday Pike Creek Valley Running Club tried something new to great success! The club had a 5K fun run at the Newark Reservoir Park. Everyone enjoyed the experience and the board will attempt to have more group runs like this. Twenty-four people participated and about twenty went to Timothy’s Restaurant, right across White Clay Creek from the reservoir. So one way or the other everyone had a “great time”.

DE Marathon: Contact Ray ASAP for preferred parking
You must contact Ray at by Friday morning to take advantage:
Club Treasurer Joel Schiller has arranged for PCVRC members to have parking reserved for them at the Delaware Marathon. The parking area will be located in the WPA surface parking lot behind the AMTRAK Station and ING DIRECT Pennsylvania Building at the end of S. French Street. Access to the parking lot is off MLK Boulevard at S. French Street and right under the railroad overpass.
Please note that our vendors and our Medical and Emergency teams will also
be using this lot. Please also note that once the runners begin returning
to the Riverfront, MLK Blvd will experience significant traffic delays and
temporary closures. This is expected to begin at 7:45am and last all
morning. Once that happens, you’ll need to reach the lot via Rte 13 North
to N. Walnut Street to W. 2nd Street to S. French Street.
To exit the lot, you’ll be able to use S. French to exit onto MLK and onto
N. Walnut Street. Remember, the runners are coming down King Street, so
you’ll be delayed if you wish to go left on 2nd or 4th Street.
Again, contact Ray to receive the window shield that must be printed and
placed on your dash board. In the event you are stopped by the police or a
parking attendant on the way into your designated parking area, you should
display parking pass and this email as an indication that you are authorized to park in this lot.
