Hello All,

 

I was asked to make sure everyone knows about the Cross Country Championship race.  More info is on the club website (http://www.mcrrc.org.) and as always, volunteers are needed. 

 

Thanks and Happy Running,

Wanda

 

 

The Montgomery County Road Runners Club, in association with other DC-area running
clubs, is hosting the 2009 USA Cross Country Championships at the Montgomery
County Agricultural History Farm Park in Derwood, MD on February 7, 2009.

is open to all runners. Teams are welcome.

See www.nationalcapitalregion2009.com for general event and registration
information or to volunteer. Commemorative technical race wind shirts are also
available for an additional fee.

For out-of-town participants, accommodations are at the nearby Rio Center
in Gaithersburg. Deadline for rserving hotel rooms is next week. For
accommodation information and reservations, go to

Happy New Year!

 

If at all possible, please contact Tom and/or George to help with the New Years Day 5K.  Perhaps a friend or family member would be willing to pitch in as well.  The race is short so this is a good one to take care of your volunteer thing to doJ.

 

Take care,

Wanda

 

 

Greetings,

 

The CCT run will take place again this Saturday.  The last time we met many runners were present.   People quickly clustered and groups ran anywhere from 4-10+ miles.

 

Next Saturday, Dec 13^th, CCT will be hosting the Jolly Fat Man’s Run (annual fundraiser for Toys for Tots campaign) so we will not be meeting.

 

Sunday Dec 14^th MCRRC’s Jingle Bell Jog.  Information is on the club’s website. 

 

I know volunteers are needed so if you have a friend or family member who would like to support you and/or the club, do encourage.   Also if you are running, there are plenty of ways to volunteer.

 

Happy Holidays!

Wanda

Hi,

 

I thought this info from a fellow runner would be of interest.

 

Take Care,

Wanda

 

 

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder for concerts coming up soon.

 

On Sunday November 23, the Rockville Concert Band performs at 3:00 in the Fitzgerald Theatre at the Rockville Civic Center.  Our theme for this concert is “Americana” with several selections of great American music (Gershwin, Copeland, Big Band swing, etc.).  It promises to be a very enjoyable afternoon.  Our holiday concert will be on Sunday December 21, 2008, 3:00 p.m. at the same location. 

 

Flutes on the Brink will be performing at the Columbia Flute Choir Festival on Saturday November 22.  The festival begins at 10:00 a.m with several flute choirs performing.  The festival is sponsored by the Columbia Institute of Fine Arts and takes place at Columbia Baptist Church in Falls Church.  The church is located at 103 West Columbia Street, Falls Church.  Flutes on the Brink is scheduled to play second, so you flutists out there who want to hear some good flute music, don’t be late!

 

Flutes on the Brink will also be returning to Brookside Gardens this holiday season for their Festival of Lights from 6:30-8:00 p.m. on Saturday December 6.  Enjoy the light show outside and then come in the visitor center to warm up with some hot chocolate and lively holiday music.

 

Hope to see you in the audience soon!

Sara.

 

Hello Runners,

 

Each year, MCRRC’s  structured training season ends with the Rockville 5/10K race.  Many runners have asked for an informal option to keep them going until Speed Development begins in January. Beginning Saturday, November 15, 2008, at 8:00 AM,   the Saturday Fall Capital Crescent Trail runs will begin.   A MCRRC member will meet runners in the parking lot each Saturday at the corner of Bethesda and Woodmont Avenues to cluster runners of similar paces. Each group will determine its distance.

 

This is an excellent opportunity for similar-paced runners from different programs and the club at large to meet.

 

There are no fees, registration, coaching, or RSVP's.  The CCT Fall Runs will continue until Speed Development begins in January 2009.

 

These runs will be cancelled when conflicting with MCRRC races, inclement weather, CCT is being used for a race, or downtown Bethesda is hosting a special event.

 

Walkers are encouraged to participate as well. Vicky Nathan, 5K Walking head coach will be attending most Saturdays.

 

Let’s all stay fine-tuned during the holiday season!

 

A weekly Sat Run message will be posted via our Info yahoo group.

 

For additional information, contact wanda.walters@...

 

Happy Running!

Hello,

 

If you did not pick up your medal Sunday, one will be waiting for you at the celebration.  Also please bring $1 for tip.

 

Congrats All!

Wanda

 

 

Hello All,

 

MCRRC’s Young Run is fast approaching and Kim Price, the race director, is in dire need of a few more helping hands.  Please offer to help out if you possibly can.  Information below

 

Thanks so very much,

Wanda

 

 

Hi, Wanda,

Could I ask for your help in forwarding my plea for volunteers to your running groups?  I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to reach a few more people. 

Thank you,

Kimberly

 

Hi Fellow Runners,

Congratulations to many of you who have just completed a Fall half-marathon or who have been training for the Rockville 5K/10K. 

 

Since some of you should be recovering while others of you could be tapering, I could really use some help with the upcoming DARCARS Young Run on this Sunday, October 19th.  I am sure you are balking at the fact this is a Young Run.  But honestly, this is a really big race with 3,000 children.  Plus most of them have their parents in tow since it is for children age 12 and under. 

 

We have had a record number of registrations, we are at 2,949 and who knows how many registrations are waiting in the Club mail box.  So I desperately need some more volunteers on race morning to help accommodate all the kids. 

 

Children can choose to run the 1-mile, the 1/2–mile or the ¼-mile.  Yes, we even have finishers that are age 2 or under.  Quite adorable to watch.  When did you run your first race? Come help make this a memorable day for many children who will hopefully enjoy many more fun years of running.

 

To join our finely orchestrated chaos, send me a message or sign up online at www.darcarsyoungrun.com  Finish Line, Refreshments and Parking volunteers desperately needed.

 

Thank you,

Kimberly Price

Race Director

 

Good morning!

 

Susan Debad, Montgomery County Road Runners Club’s Office Manager and Rockville 5/10K Volunteer Coordinator asked me to facilitate getting the word out that this race, like all races doesn’t happen without volunteers.   Please help out if at all possible. Also if you are participating in the race, solicit friends and family members to give their support as well.  That way they can cheer you on and help with the race!

 

Happy Running and Walking All!

Wanda
