Healthy Kids Running Series
Club member and New Balance store manager Jamie Graham is now in charge of the Healthy Kids Running Series here in Wilmington. Jamie says “The events are going to be held on Sundays at Springer Elementary School corner of Silverside and Shipley Rd. It’s a running program for kids ages pre-k to 8th grade. They run anywhere from a 50 yard dash, ¼ mile, 1/2 mile and mile based on their age. If you have run with any parents and could pass along that this program exists I would greatly appreciate it. My plan is to bring this program to Newark in the Spring.”

HAC Plunge & Run
From Kelly Reph-Jones: I am hosting the 2nd annual HAC Plunge & Run Aug 19th. It’s a 1/4 mile pool swim followed by a 3.2 mile run at Hockessin Athletic Club benefiting the Mike Clark Legacy Foundation. Go to http://www.fuel3sports.com/ for more information.
Group Runs
Since I had one club member call me with his best 5K time in the past year, I feel that I need to repeat that I have stopped hosting McCorq’s Fun Run. Do not show up at my house on the Thursday before Labor Day. I am more than willing to offer help to someone who wishes to carry on the tradition or start a new end of summer event. While I’m at it, this is also a reminder that this bulletin will need a new editor by the beginning of 2013. Again, I’m willing to help in the transition.
Regular group runs continue each Wed & Thurs 6pm at Delcastle, through summer and fall.
