Dear Runner,

By now you should have received our 2003 brochure/application. If you
haven't, you can pick one up at TrainingZone Sports or the Central
Bucks Family YMCA. You can also go online at www.bucks5kseries.com
for an application and all of the other information you need. While
you're in our web site, you will find very easy register online for
one or all of the seven races.

The first race will be the CB Family YMCA 5K. The date is March 16th,
and registration begins at 8:30 for a 10:00 start. Registration and
the awards ceremony will be held in the gym, so any weather effects
will be minimized. There are many kid-friendly events planned,
including a 1-mile run, face and Blarney Stone painting, and a kids
scramble. A bagpiper will entertain at the finish line, so get an
early start to your St. Patrick Day's fun.

Start your spring training by entering the YMCA race, and win your
first points in the Bucks 5K Series scoring. If you register now for
all seven races in the Series, you will receive your choice of either
a long sleeve Bucks 5K Series T-shirt or a commemorative tile.

See you on the 16th.

Dick Patterson
President, Bucks 5K Series
