Dear Bucks 5K Series Runners,

We are pleased to announce the 2003 schedule. You'll notice that we
have a new race, the New Hope Solebury Spirit Run. This race will
replace the Pearl Buck 5K. It will take runners through the streets
of New Hope and along scenic back roads, ending at the high school
where there will be special events.

Please mark your 2003 calendars now:

1. CB Family YMCA 5k: March 16
2. New Hope Solebury Spirit Run: April 6
3. Fitcare LifeCenter 5k: April 12
4. Sertoma 5k: May 10
5. Doylestown 5k: May 24
6. Chalfont Challenge: June 7
7. Special Equestrians 5k: June 14

It's our goal to make the Series better every year. This year, we've
decided to survey the running community to identify those areas that
could be improved. We would appreciate your assistance.

Through the survey, we'll be able to collect data and analyze the
comments of our most important people – you and the other runners who
make the Series so vibrant and relevant. We are aware that there are
many areas that can be improved. Your response will enable us to
determine the most significant ones and will guide us toward
effective corrective action.

Completing the survey will take just a few minutes. The link to the
survey is included at the end of this newsletter. After your form
has been submitted, Training Zone Sports will provide a $10 gift
certificate as a thank you. We think you will find the survey to be
unique and easy to complete.

As soon as the surveys are completed, we will share the results with
you. This will include our plans for improvement in the key areas.
Your candid thoughts, insights and responses will help make this
effort more productive for all of us. If you have any questions
concerning this survey, please contact us through our website.
