Running of the Judge 5K / BBQ Recap
Run the Judge continued traditions. Nineteen people participated in the running of the loop on the Judge Morris State Park. Continuing in the tradition set by Jerry Herman last year, Vic Zwolak caught an obstacle and went down, drawing blood and raising abrasions. Also continuing a tradition – more people showed up for the barbecue(30) than ran, proving that some runners do have common sense. Dirk and family did a wonderful job as hosts with Dirk handling the grilling chores for well over an hour. The club thanks them and we hope to continue the traditions again next year with a new victim of The Judge.
Crabowitz 5K Fun Run
From Rich Szymanski:
The crab feast and Crabowitz 5K fun run is set for Thursday, June 30th at 6:00-6:15. from the Szymanski house. Last year we added the “Crabowitz” 5K prior to the crab feast and we will again be doing the run prior to the “eats”. While it started out as an “I hate Jack 5K” aka “Crabowitz”, we will keep the crab theme this year but will have a different meaning behind the crab.
Crab /Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac and we thought we’d emphasize the cancer this year and de-emphasize the “I hate Jack” and in the spirit of that, we will have a donation jar for anyone that would like to donate on behalf of the American Cancer Society. Ok..well, we will still probably make Jack wear the crab head piece..that’s just plain “ole” fun J
We will provide crabs and pizza , water and soda and please ask that you bring your favorite adult beverage of choice. So that we have an accurate head count and have enough for all, please do let us know if you’ll be able to come! I you decide at the last minute do not hesitate to show up. There are always lots of crabs left over.
This is also a dog friendly event.. make sure you bring your dogs, kids and spouses or whom ever you wish.
Where: 709 Haddon Road, Wilmington DE
Date: Thursday, June 30th
Time: 6:00 – 6:15
The next Friday fun run is being hosted by Jim Steele & the Culnanes at Lum’s Pond on 6/24. Look for more info to be posted on the club’s Facebook Page.
