contribute to the local community at the Jersey Shore.
Spring Training
Marathon training for Spring
Marathons started last Sunday at the Club's Regular Sunday Run in
Middletown. There was a large turnout of over 60 runners of all levels of
abilities from sub 3 hour marathoners, middle of the packers to 5 hour plus
runners. Its not too late to get in with the group this coming Sunday especially
with a slow winter race schedule. The training is good for all the
upcoming spring marathons and is geared to the National
Marathon to be held on March 24th in our Nations Capital, Washington DC and
the Ocean Drive Marathon to be held at
the Jersey Shore in Cape May, NJ on March 25th or the Women's Only MORE
Marathon also on March 25th in New York City. It will also be good for
other marathons to include the Pocono
Marathon on May 6th, the Iron Division 26.2 Mile Individual Run of the
Jersey Shore Relay on April 21 and
all the other marathons this spring..
So if you are interested in training
with a great group stop by. We have an experienced group of runners who have run
many marathons all over the world and will gladly guide you to a successful
experience and give you the tips that will help you along the way.
We always have lots of water stops, post run refreshments, all levels of ability
and most of good company for a long run.
Marathon Training Runs normally
start at 7:30 AM with the standard Sunday Run group going out at 8 AM - feel
free to join either group.
Walkers Also Invited!
As Well as Runners Just Wanting to
Run With a Group for 6 to X Miles
Did you know we have a group that
does a 6 mile walk every Sunday starting at 8 AM at Bodman Park? Bring
your non running friends to the run and they can walk while you run! Or try
something different and WALK - great for recovering from some injuries or to get
into Race Walking as a cross training..
Many runners also just do a nice 6
mile or 10 mile loop - so there is something for everyone at all paces.
Saturday at Holmdel Starts
This Saturday at 10 AM
The traditional Saturday morning run at Holmdel Park gets
going this Saturday, January 6th at 10 AM. The group meets at the visitors
center and runs about 5 miles through some scenic trails. Its a great way
to get out of the winter wind. All paces and abilities are welcome. Stop
by and check it out this Saturday!
