Let's go for 10/29 at Pfaff Elementary (1600 Sleepy Hollow Road, Quakertown) followed by the Spinnerstown Hotel. I'll have road maps and people can do all or part of the Rotary 10 mile or 4 mile course. You're allowed to skip the worst hills without being labeled a weenie. We'll meet at 10:00, noting that Spinnerstown doesn't open until 11:30. RSVP to me at bill.tuszynski@gmail.com.
Race Director's Clinic
Ever signed up for a race organized by people who have never seen a race, let alone run in one? Want to put on a race and want to get a tutorial on how-to? Well, our friends at the Ambler Area RC and Run the day are putting on a timely clinic. Here's some background. Sorry about no shirt.
Would YOU like to...
- be a part of a LOCAL learning experience for race directors that is interactive AND inexpensive?
- efficiently prioritize the myriad of details that go into organizing a race?
- network with other race directors to share information or resources, ask and answer each other's questions, and brainstorm new ideas?
- hear from experts about best practices that will make your job easier?
- learn how to promote your event more successfully, and increase attendance?
* Timing, Registration & Results * Race promotion & Marketing * Sponsorships & Fundraising
* Logistics & Amenities (including certification, shirts, porta-potties, food, water, goodie bags, permits, signage, ...)

Self-Trained or Not?
Jim Higgins, our version of Ryan Hall, weighs in on doing it yourself. "My vote is self-train. I'm guessing it comes down to a runner's personality. Since I'm very independent-minded, I looked up training plans when I decided to pursue running, and tweaked them as I best saw fit. I didn't see the need nor did I want anyone else's opinion on the matter. Like a lot of things in life, it boils down to my decision on how to go about it. Thus, I self-train." It would be interesting to hear what the coaches in our group have to say.
Club Races
The best thing to do on a golf course is - run. That's why D Hettrick has organized what will be the 3rd Macoby Run Run 5M/5K at Macoby Run golf course. The home made tortellini soup after the race is worth the price of registration.
