Next Up at the Jersey Shore
The Fall Racing Season gets under
way next weekend with the Brielle Day 10k - a great scenic winding course
through the tree lined hills and dales of Brielle. It's also Brielle Day
and there is an awesome fair with lots of fun, food and even a Beer Garden. Also
on Saturday is the Jimmy Hamilton 5K in Sandy Hook - a flat course for those so
inclined. Then on Monday Evening its the 9-11 Memorial Run - something not
to be missed - come on out to remember that tragic day..
Pier Village is Awesome
The Pier Village 5K was a fitting
finale of the SBLI Jersey Shore Golden Grand Prix. On a bright cool sunny
morning after the storm with sand still on some parts of Ocean Avenue from the
recent storm a field of over 600 runners participated on the course which started at Pier Village and
traversed the Long Branch Boardwalk and Promenade. With the great
weather, great times were put in in the very competitive field.
The men's winner shown finishing on
the left was Joel Limo of Ringwood, NJ in a time of 15:13. For the women shown finishing on the right it was
Clara Peterson of Rumson in a time of.16:00. Bill Hoffman of Eatontown was
the second place finisher in a strong 15:16 time. The women's race was
extremely close with the second place woman Rehima Kedir of Briarcliff Manor, NY
a few tenths of seconds behind Clara.
Kid's races were held on the beach
and awards were presented to overall and five year age groups. The winners of
the Jersey Shore Golden Grand Prix were also announced. For the men it was
Bill Hoffman and for the women it was Allie Belicose. Complete list of
winners will be available soon.
Congratulations to Race Director,
Phil Hinck for a very successful Jersey Shore Golden Grand Prix. Special
thanks to SBLI as a sponsor and as always thanks to all the volunteers who came
out to make for a memorable event.
The race benefited Habitat for
Humanity. SBLI made a presentation to Tim McCloone for his community
efforts and presented a check for $500 in his name to Holiday Express.

Saturday in the Park
Due to the Rain the Photos are not
that good - 2 cameras were shorted out due to the rain.
Tropical Storm Ernesto's visit to
the Jersey Shore was no deterrent to the large field of women who participated
in this Year's Saturday in the Park 5K in Holmdel Park. The overall winner
was Christine Clifton (of the Shore Runner Store in Pier Village) in a time of
19:53 followed by Catherine Robbie in 20:25 and Lauren Rhatigan in 21:10. A
total of 230 runners participated in the race which is truly amazing considering
the conditions. Kids races were even held and there was a good turn out for them
as well!
Special thanks to the people from
the Monmouth County Parks System who rigged up emergency back up power and
lighting after the entire park lost power. Despite those conditions the
race started on time, everyone finished and there were no injuries on the
slippery course through the woods.
Congratulations to all of the
participants who made it out despite the weather. All in all everyone
appeared to have a great time. Special thanks to all of the volunteers who made
it out and got really wet on the course, at the start and the finish line.
Another great day organized by Race Director, Penny Hinck despite some really
challenging conditions.
Registered runners who could not
make the event due to the weather can contact Penny at penny@saturdayinthepark5k.org
to pick up their shirt and goody bag.

Luau for Dawn
Jane Erbe, Donna Mehler, Bill
Koch, Dawn Ciccone, Cathy Berth, Penny Hinck at the Luau at Bar A
The JSRC Luau for Dawn Ciccone was a huge success.
Wind and rain forced the event inside Bar Anticipation and we were given a
private party room. Over 100 JSRC'ers braved the inclement weather to
party with Dawn. Bar A provided a delicious Hawaiian style buffet and two
complimentary draft beers. The day was further enhanced with an
outstanding steel drum duo playing reggae music for the occasion.
All participants were greeted at the door and received their lei.
Tom Mulvaney organized a "hard boiled egg eating contest" complete
with a large trophy to the winner. A
lively limbo contest yielded the eventual male and female winner of Lou Can Do
and Mary Beth Glaccum (who are both very limber people). Tom Morrison was the 50/50 guy and the grand prize was won by
Jane Erbe, who graciously donated all of it back to Dawn. Thank you Jane!
Dawn thanked all for their support over the past
months and made us realize that we are much more than your average running club.
Much thanks to the committee of Donna Mehler,
Cathy Berth, Penny Hinck, Nancy Thorne, Lorraine Buckler and many more.
100% of the profits of this event will go directly to Dawn.
It was a day of bad weather but great food and drink and music that
made it a luau to remember. Much thanks to Reggie and Pat and the Bar A
staff for a tremendous effort.
Finally, thanks to all who attended and also those
who bought tickets and made a donation. It is the great individuals of
this club that make us the best running club around.

The rain did not deter the runners
in the First Annual Pause for a Cause 5K held in Pine Creek Park in
