FARC Women's Race Marlboro, July 16, 2000 By Jim Robbins A field of 136 women took to the roads of Marlboro Township on a sunny, humid morning of July 16th to compete in the 11th annual Sunday 5K For Women, organized by the Freehold Area Running Club. Point Pleasant's Barbara Moldoch, women's champion of the recent Wall Township's Firecracker Five, was the way-out-in-front leader and first to cross the finish line located on the access road of the Recreation Community Center on Wyncrest Road, at a racing time of 18:29 (18 minutes and 29 seconds). I did a 17:29 at the Reindeer Romp (in Pt. Pleasant) last December," said Moldoch when asked her best effort for a like distance. Coming in second from the 3.1 mile course, that starts on Wyncrest Road in front of the Center and winds its way out and back through tree-lined streets, including the development of Monmouth Heights with its cheering spectators was Lisa Tofler, Los Angeles, CA, at 19:49. Tofler informed she was racing for the first time in two years due to her having a baby and that her best time ever for a 5K was 17:07. Rounding out the top three was Christine Corey of Ocean Grove at 20:05. Alicia Kelly, Spring Lake Heights, on the mend from a difficult pregnancy, set the record in 1994 for this course at 16:44. Sherry Brosnahan, Bridgewater, was the event's racewalk champion at 29:14 and had her best 5K in England last year while competing on the world stage, with a time of 27:11. "I love this race: it's well run - well marked and the many volunteers are friendly and helpful," said Brosnahan when asked to comment. Pam Allen, Oceanport, veteran runner in the Shore area and winner of her 45-49 age group, at 21:43, had this to say about the course and weather: "It was mostly flat but there were a few rolling hills and it was hot and humid - ungodly humid." This, and other women's races, is encouraged by the Road Runners Club of America and its financial sponsor, Avon, and in the words of racewalker Isabelle Keeley 41:24, Freehold, past president of the Shore Athletic Club: "Women's races are to foster women to come and participate, that racing exists beyond high school and college and is a sport for life to keep us physically fit." Awards of Fuji cameras, sweatshirts and RRCA plaques were awarded to these winners and age-group leaders as well as special awards of sister-sister, mother-daughter and first-resident by co-directors Bob and Linda Hyer assisted by their 5th grade daughter, Renee, at the Center's gymnasium, as wilted racers, including Healthwalkers, were enjoying bountiful refreshments. Many random prizes were raffled due to the generosity of the Freehold business community. Jack Lucey of Howell did the computer results. "I want to thank our sponsors and all the volunteers for giving of their time and efficient efforts ( most are members of running clubs and are familiar with assigned duties). I especially want to thank the Marlboro Police Department for excellent traffic control," said Bob Hyer. Women's racing continues with the Jersey Shore Running Club's presentation of Saturday in the Park at Holmdel Park on Sept. 2nd at 9 a.m. to benefit the Women's Center of Monmouth County Inc..

There are still two weeks left for the Series which continues through July. Club Takes the Lincoln Tunnel Challenge A contingent of Jersey Shore Running Club Members made the trek to the Lincoln Tunnel Challenge to run through the tunnel from the Jersey side and continue to NYC and return. The tunnel of course was closed to traffic on the Sunday morning of the event and not a scent of automobile exhaust could be found. Pictured above are some of the Club participants and to the left is Ira Wiss "wissing" to the finish and to the right Jessie Joseph smiling at the camera also at the finish. Some of the club finishers included: Linda Puzzo 22:10(2ag) Judy Ayala 23:28 Joan Scrivanich 26:51 Ira Wiss 30:30 Sabrina Scrivanich 34:08 Vicki Alpert 2nd Place Club Sweeps Firecracker 5 Jim Robbins Four hundred and fifteen road racers commenced celebrating our nation's 224th birthday, offically named Independence Day, on a drizzly, humid 4th of July morning, by competing in the 12th annual The Firecracker Five, a 5-miler, organized by Wall Township Operations and Good Sports U.S.A. Barbara Moldoch (pictured below with two of her friends), JSRC Member of Point Pleasant, was the first woman to cross the finish line, located at Allaire Road in front of the Wall Municipal Complex, at a racing time of 30:03 (30 minutes and 3 seconds) good for 10th place overall. It was nice - nice and damp - I love the slop said Moldoch in commenting on the weather conditions, in between breaths at the finish area. In 95 (1995) I did a 29:02 at Spring Lake ( referring to the popular Spring Lake Five raced on Memorial Day weekend ), Moldoch informed when asked her best time for the same distance. Marissa Detata of Brick was third in 31:18. Dave Demonico, also JSRC Member of South River, champion of the recent JSRC Fathers Day 5K in Wanamassa, was the overall, way-out-in-front winner, on this rectangular course that also started at the Complex and included Campbell Road, 18th Avenue and New Bedford Road at a time of 26:42. Rich Caponigro, Wanamassa, was second place finisher, a minute behind the leader, at 27:42. He was followed by Keith Ford, Louisville, Kentucky, at 27:50. Caponigro was racing in third place until the 3rd mile mark where he caught Ford and then passed him on the way to the finish. Where the road was smooth, there seemed to be better traction, offered Demonico, in commenting on the different surfaces of the course. This was the South River resident's first time at The Firecracker Five and attributes his competing this year to the encouragement he received from fellow members of the Jersey Shore Running Club. Finishing second for the women, 11th overall, from the course that had adequate water spots manned by cheering volunteers, and fire trucks placed at strategic areas for a needed, cool, hose-spraying, was 1998 Firecracker womens champion Lauren Rhatigan, dressed in an appropriate stars and stripes running outfit, at 30:23. John Soucheck, Little Silver, was the first racewalker at 39:25 and Alina Zeleznova of South River in 49:41 was the womens racewalk champion at 50:18. Aah it was OK,said an unenthusiastic Soucheck referring to todays performance. His best time at this race was 38:33. It was fine when we started, said Marilyn Ryder of Long Branch, winner of her 55-59, age group, at 46:28, but then the sun came out and it got hot, real hot, Ryder added in commenting on the weather. Fred Rummel, long-time race director and Robert Peters, mayor of Wall Township, awarded sweatshirts and trophies to these winners and age-group leaders at the Leo Kubaitis amphitheater on the Complex grounds as the patiently waiting, wilted racers were enjoying refreshments. The event includes a fun run, leisure walk and kids races. The Elite Racing System of Clifton did the finish-line activities and computerized results. Wall Operations is the beneficiary. Im very pleased with the outcome and want to thank all the volunteers and the Wall police department for traffic control. I want to recognize the many sponsors who make this financially successful, especially Good Sports USA, said Rummel Other area competitors of the Firecracker challenge: Wall Township: Tony Tracy 33:20, Bob Gordon 35:01, Douglas Von Bulow 35:08, Don Jessop 36:05, Megan Becht 36:21, Frank Healey 36:44, Robert Murray 36:46, James McMillan 36:54, Barry Barone 37:11, Bill King 37:29, Brian Koos 37:35, Janice Kosinski 38:23, Eric DeSalvo 39:22, John Pardenek 40:17, Michael Fitzgerald 41:05, Matt Onacilla 41:16, Blair Quinn 42:43, Kathy Rippetoe 42:56, Jeff Cryan 8:38, William Schrun 43:11, Gene DeSalvo 43:16, Wendy McKnight 43:46,Chris Frey 44:49, Rose Frey 44:50, Bruce Decotiis 45:06, Jim Rich 45:35, Jack Lach 46:26 (racewalker), Mike Lazarus 46:58, Karen Stackhouse 47:14, Juan Bermudez 49:05, Laura Kenneally 51:05, Kristine Kayser 51:13, Pete Rogers 54:08, Clarence Lurch 56:34, Clarence Reed 1:11:18 (racewalker).

Saturday in the Park Women's Race Deanna MacLean As we are all enjoying the summer, and the races and t-shirts that we accumulate, I want to remind all of the members about this event, the Saturday in the Park Women's 5K, an event for womenwomen who are experiencing fear and humiliation, as well as physical harm. I once was one of those women, afraid to come home at night, afraid to speak to anyone, an ace at wearing make-up and clothing that covered bruises. As a club, we are taking steps to end this horror, the horror that sometimes results in deathyes, I was almost killed more than once, but am lucky in that I survived. I was lucky, too, in that I did not bring life into the world to go that horror, but unfortunately, children are victims as well. And then the cycle continues, since my fiance was a product of an abusive household. Violence begets violence. I joined the Jersey Shore Running club not realizing that there was such an event, but the more I ran for my " miles for the millenium" and got newsletters, I realized I had to help in some capacity. I am asking my fellow club members for any help, financially and physically. Its giving of a few hours of time to women and children who are forced to endure hours upon hours of sexual, physical and emotional abuseas I did. But through this small sacrifice of time, we can help them get beyond that, and realize there is life after abuse. The club has taken on this issue, and as I am speaking to people about it, so many are coming forward speaking about family members, co-workers and/or friends who have been victims. In July, I am taking a segment with CN8 for airing in August on Newsmakers. I am hoping to get coverage with the Asbury Park Press. We are looking for sponsorship at an initial level of $150.00 from companies. And individual pledges at any denomination. I challenge everyone to make a pledge for all the millenium miles you have run so far this yearsave a child, save a woman from having to face another incident of pain. For further info on this very important event contact Penny Hinck (email: saturdayinthepark@home.com) or Deana MacLean (e-mail: miraclecat@home.com). And if anyone has anybody they feel could be contacted outside of the club for exposure, please let us know. Thank you for your time and support. Dean MacLean Special Ed Ed Hahn "Lube Job" is was, or so he would boast, that got Ed's attention while speeding towards the coast "I'm off to Fern Ridge, and you should be too," "to hash with Eugene or you will be blue And in a fine auto Lubey drove out of sight, with all the hash cash (now that can't be right?!) And true to Special's nature, he shows up late boasting about his "government plate" "we're only half done," one hasher exclaims, "if you don't drink this micro-brew, may you do down in flames" "Eugene's food is gourmet" (or so I would hear) "I don't give a darn....now pass me a beer" "I'll fix this," Special Ed would say (they're talking about McDonalds to this very day) "setting a hash course is easy, I've done this before," much too simple...oh what a bore And with the "Good Doctor" he ran out of sight, whoops...he forgot to recon the course...now this is gonna bite "oh it's live and this should be fun" now look...here comes a farmer and he's got a gun" He isnt happy we are crossing his farm, he stands waiting to break a hashers arm I got swept down the Long Tom, now that isnt fair what an introduction as a new hare! "I'll try again, it can't possibly be worse" (boy was I wrong: I can still hear them curse) "You forgot the flour" (every hasher in chorus) "and where did that hash go, before we entered the forest??" Through the downtown mall...now couldn't you find> "there was no flour there; have you lost your mind Short Circuit can't help you out of this one: you messed up the course; now you better run! So off to Greece did he slip out of town... it's not that bad Ed, now wipe away that frown Leave your mark that's what's been said... just another day in the life of old Special Ed JSRC Summer Series Week 5 June 29,2000 3 Miles Overall Men: Dave Demonico 15:18 Overall Women: Maura Bolger 18:45 19 & Under Men: Johnny Rodriguez 17:43 19 & Under Women: Emily McMillan 19:03 20-29 Men: Paul Laray 19:20 20-29 women: Margerie Gordon 24:58 30-39 Men: Joe Donahue 16:41 30-39 Women: Susan Foley 20:41 40-49 Men: Bob Bonpietro 16:44 40-49 Women: Anne-Marie Olenik 20:25 50-59 Men: Mike Baker 19:01 50-59 Women: Marilyn Ryder 25:30 60-69 Men: John Kilmer 28:21 70-79 Men: Hal Smith 27:21 men's racewalk Jack Latch 26:44 women's racewalk Fran Emanuel 32:54 Kids Mile 9&Under Boys: Jonathan Urena 7:01 9 & Under Girls: Alex Cavallo 7:15 10-14 Boys: Thomas Walsh 5:32 10-14 Girls: Robin Daniek 5:52 Complete Series Results posted.

It isn't Bali Hi, Brigadoon, Camelot or Shangri La, but it is Wanamassa, Interlaken, Loch Arbour and Allenhurst (all Monmouth County, NJ), about as close as you'll get to an ideal setting for a road race and that's just where the Jersey Shore Running Club designed its course for its annual Father's Day 5K with sign-ups and award presentations at the elementary school on Bendermere Avenue, Wanamassa (pretty native-American name - it rolls pleasantly off your tongue as it's recited). Kate Miller, 24 (pictured below after receiving her award), of West Long Branch was first racer in for the women's division on June 17th, from the 3.1 mile course that starts and finishes at the school and meanders through the towns' tree-lined, shady, macadam streets, adjacent to stately residences with well-manicured lawns at 19:27 (19 minutes and 27 seconds [8th overall]). "I did an 18:01 at William and Mary (College in Williamsburg, Va., hosting a track meet) representing the University of Richmond," said Miller when asked her best time for a 5K distance. "A very pretty, residential area with a lot of shade and it' flat and fast, offered the women's champion when asked her thoughts on the course. Dave Demonico (pictured below receiving his trophy), 32, South River, fresh off a victory Thursday night at the JSRC's Wall Township Summer Series, where he set a course record, was this race's 6th annual overall winner, of the 151 competitors, on this sunny, cloudy, high-humidity morning at 16:18. "A lot of shade - sharp turns with dips, where you had to watch your footing, had to slow up and change gears - and the course management as a whole was just excellent," were some of the observations offered by today's overall champion when asked about the course. Rounding out the top three for the men were Rich Caponigro 17:17, Ocean and Richie Broxmeyer 17:18, Milltown. Coming in second for the women was Erin Marie Quinn 19:33 (11th overall), Hoboken and third was Dawn Ciccone 20:39 (22nd overall), Highlands.

The Reservoir location is fairly flat, easy on the feet and conducive to pacing. You can jump in on any or all of these runs even if you are not doing a marathon. If you are training for a marathon at a different date you can adjust accordingly. Starting time for the runs is 7:30 AM for 20 milers at Bodman Park, 8 AM for other distances from Bodman and 8 AM from the Manasquan Reservoir Site for all distances. Liz Ireland will coordinate the Bodman runs; Jerry Convery will coordinate the Manasquan Reservoir runs. At Manasquan Reservoir you can run 5 mile loops with the idea that you will have running partners up to 20 miles. At Bodman Park you can run long for 10, 11, 12, 15 or 17 miles staying in the "Stone Church" area and going through Hearthshorne Woods. With the "Monster Loop" you are committing to run either 19 or 22 miles. These runs are stamina, strength runs with hills and varying terrain. All these long runs are set up for Sundays. If there is an unforseen conflict, we could move a session to Saturday. Contact Jerry Convery at 732-290-1920 for more information or if you have any questions. Here is the complete schedule: July 9 15 miles July 16 15 miles July 23 15 miles July 30 20 miles August 13 15 miles August 20 20 miles August 27 15 miles September 3 15 miles September 10 Philly Half September 17 20 miles September 24 15 miles October 1 Jersey Shore Half October 8 20 miles October 15 Seaside Half October 22 10 miles October 29 10 miles November 5 Marathon View Past Updates in the Archive Return to Main Page

Marlboro, July 16, 2000
By Jim Robbins
A field of 136 women took to the roads of Marlboro Township on a sunny, humid morning of July 16th to compete in the 11th annual Sunday 5K For Women, organized by the Freehold Area Running Club. Point Pleasant's Barbara Moldoch, women's champion of the recent Wall Township's Firecracker Five, was the way-out-in-front leader and first to cross the finish line located on the access road of the Recreation Community Center on Wyncrest Road, at a racing time of 18:29 (18 minutes and 29 seconds). I did a 17:29 at the Reindeer Romp (in Pt. Pleasant) last December," said Moldoch when asked her best effort for a like distance.
Coming in second from the 3.1 mile course, that starts on Wyncrest Road in front of the Center and winds its way out and back through tree-lined streets, including the development of Monmouth Heights with its cheering spectators was Lisa Tofler, Los Angeles, CA, at 19:49. Tofler informed she was racing for the first time in two years due to her having a baby and that her best time ever for a 5K was 17:07. Rounding out the top three was Christine Corey of Ocean Grove at 20:05. Alicia Kelly, Spring Lake Heights, on the mend from a difficult pregnancy, set the record in 1994 for this course at 16:44.
Sherry Brosnahan, Bridgewater, was the event's racewalk champion at 29:14 and had her best 5K in England last year while competing on the world stage, with a time of 27:11. "I love this race: it's well run - well marked and the many volunteers are friendly and helpful," said Brosnahan when asked to comment. Pam Allen, Oceanport, veteran runner in the Shore area and winner of her 45-49 age group, at 21:43, had this to say about the course and weather: "It was mostly flat but there were a few rolling hills and it was hot and humid - ungodly humid."
This, and other women's races, is encouraged by the Road Runners Club of America and its financial sponsor, Avon, and in the words of racewalker Isabelle Keeley 41:24, Freehold, past president of the Shore Athletic Club: "Women's races are to foster women to come and participate, that racing exists beyond high school and college and is a sport for life to keep us physically fit."
Awards of Fuji cameras, sweatshirts and RRCA plaques were awarded to these winners and age-group leaders as well as special awards of sister-sister, mother-daughter and first-resident by co-directors Bob and Linda Hyer assisted by their 5th grade daughter, Renee, at the Center's gymnasium, as wilted racers, including Healthwalkers, were enjoying bountiful refreshments. Many random prizes were raffled due to the generosity of the Freehold business community. Jack Lucey of Howell did the computer results.
"I want to thank our sponsors and all the volunteers for giving of their time and efficient efforts ( most are members of running clubs and are familiar with assigned duties). I especially want to thank the Marlboro Police Department for excellent traffic control," said Bob Hyer.
Women's racing continues with the Jersey Shore Running Club's presentation of Saturday in the Park at Holmdel Park on Sept. 2nd at 9 a.m. to benefit the Women's Center of Monmouth County Inc.. For information call 732-542-6090 or contact the Race Director, Penny Hinck.

The Club's Summer Series of races continues its run at the Wall Municipal Complex. A record crowd in both the 1 Mile Kid's and 3 Mile open were in attendance last week and Chris Coghlan and Matt Sadono are hard at work compiling the results which should be posted soon. There are still two weeks left for the Series which continues through July.
A contingent of Jersey Shore Running Club Members made the trek to the Lincoln Tunnel Challenge to run through the tunnel from the Jersey side and continue to NYC and return. The tunnel of course was closed to traffic on the Sunday morning of the event and not a scent of automobile exhaust could be found. Pictured above are some of the Club participants and to the left is Ira Wiss "wissing" to the finish and to the right Jessie Joseph smiling at the camera also at the finish. Some of the club finishers included:

Four hundred and fifteen road racers commenced celebrating our nation's 224th birthday, offically named Independence Day, on a drizzly, humid 4th of July morning, by competing in the 12th annual The Firecracker Five, a 5-miler, organized by Wall Township Operations and Good Sports U.S.A.
Barbara Moldoch (pictured below with two of her friends), JSRC Member of Point Pleasant, was the first woman to cross the finish line, located at Allaire Road in front of the Wall Municipal Complex, at a racing time of 30:03 (30 minutes and 3 seconds) good for 10th place overall. It was nice - nice and damp - I love the slop said Moldoch in commenting on the weather conditions, in between breaths at the finish area. In 95 (1995) I did a 29:02 at Spring Lake ( referring to the popular Spring Lake Five raced on Memorial Day weekend ), Moldoch informed when asked her best time for the same distance. Marissa Detata of Brick was third in 31:18.
Dave Demonico, also JSRC Member of South River, champion of the recent JSRC Fathers Day 5K in Wanamassa, was the overall, way-out-in-front winner, on this rectangular course that also started at the Complex and included Campbell Road, 18th Avenue and New Bedford Road at a time of 26:42. Rich Caponigro, Wanamassa, was second place finisher, a minute behind the leader, at 27:42. He was followed by Keith Ford, Louisville, Kentucky, at 27:50. Caponigro was racing in third place until the 3rd mile mark where he caught Ford and then passed him on the way to the finish.
Where the road was smooth, there seemed to be better traction, offered Demonico, in commenting on the different surfaces of the course. This was the South River resident's first time at The Firecracker Five and attributes his competing this year to the encouragement he received from fellow members of the Jersey Shore Running Club.
Finishing second for the women, 11th overall, from the course that had adequate water spots manned by cheering volunteers, and fire trucks placed at strategic areas for a needed, cool, hose-spraying, was 1998 Firecracker womens champion Lauren Rhatigan, dressed in an appropriate stars and stripes running outfit, at 30:23.
John Soucheck, Little Silver, was the first racewalker at 39:25 and Alina Zeleznova of South River in 49:41 was the womens racewalk champion at 50:18. Aah it was OK,said an unenthusiastic Soucheck referring to todays performance. His best time at this race was 38:33.
It was fine when we started, said Marilyn Ryder of Long Branch, winner of her 55-59, age group, at 46:28, but then the sun came out and it got hot, real hot, Ryder added in commenting on the weather.
Fred Rummel, long-time race director and Robert Peters, mayor of Wall Township, awarded sweatshirts and trophies to these winners and age-group leaders at the Leo Kubaitis amphitheater on the Complex grounds as the patiently waiting, wilted racers were enjoying refreshments. The event includes a fun run, leisure walk and kids races. The Elite Racing System of Clifton did the finish-line activities and computerized results. Wall Operations is the beneficiary. Im very pleased with the outcome and want to thank all the volunteers and the Wall police department for traffic control. I want to recognize the many sponsors who make this financially successful, especially Good Sports USA, said Rummel

As we are all enjoying the summer, and the races and t-shirts that we accumulate, I want to remind all of the members about this event, the Saturday in the Park Women's 5K, an event for womenwomen who are experiencing fear and humiliation, as well as physical harm. I once was one of those women, afraid to come home at night, afraid to speak to anyone, an ace at wearing make-up and clothing that covered bruises. As a club, we are taking steps to end this horror, the horror that sometimes results in deathyes, I was almost killed more than once, but am lucky in that I survived. I was lucky, too, in that I did not bring life into the world to go that horror, but unfortunately, children are victims as well. And then the cycle continues, since my fiance was a product of an abusive household. Violence begets violence.
I joined the Jersey Shore Running club not realizing that there was such an event, but the more I ran for my " miles for the millenium" and got newsletters, I realized I had to help in some capacity. I am asking my fellow club members for any help, financially and physically. Its giving of a few hours of time to women and children who are forced to endure hours upon hours of sexual, physical and emotional abuseas I did. But through this small sacrifice of time, we can help them get beyond that, and realize there is life after abuse. The club has taken on this issue, and as I am speaking to people about it, so many are coming forward speaking about family members, co-workers and/or friends who have been victims. In July, I am taking a segment with CN8 for airing in August on Newsmakers. I am hoping to get coverage with the Asbury Park Press.
We are looking for sponsorship at an initial level of $150.00 from companies. And individual pledges at any denomination. I challenge everyone to make a pledge for all the millenium miles you have run so far this yearsave a child, save a woman from having to face another incident of pain. For further info on this very important event contact Penny Hinck (email: saturdayinthepark@home.com) or Deana MacLean (e-mail: miraclecat@home.com). And if anyone has anybody they feel could be contacted outside of the club for exposure, please let us know.
Thank you for your time and support.

"Lube Job" is was, or so he would boast, that got Ed's attention while speeding towards the coast "I'm off to Fern Ridge, and you should be too," "to hash with Eugene or you will be blue And in a fine auto Lubey drove out of sight, with all the hash cash (now that can't be right?!) And true to Special's nature, he shows up late boasting about his "government plate" "we're only half done," one hasher exclaims, "if you don't drink this micro-brew, may you do down in flames" "Eugene's food is gourmet" (or so I would hear) "I don't give a darn....now pass me a beer" "I'll fix this," Special Ed would say (they're talking about McDonalds to this very day) "setting a hash course is easy, I've done this before," much too simple...oh what a bore And with the "Good Doctor" he ran out of sight, whoops...he forgot to recon the course...now this is gonna bite "oh it's live and this should be fun" now look...here comes a farmer and he's got a gun" He isnt happy we are crossing his farm, he stands waiting to break a hashers arm I got swept down the Long Tom, now that isnt fair what an introduction as a new hare! "I'll try again, it can't possibly be worse" (boy was I wrong: I can still hear them curse) "You forgot the flour" (every hasher in chorus) "and where did that hash go, before we entered the forest??" Through the downtown mall...now couldn't you find> "there was no flour there; have you lost your mind Short Circuit can't help you out of this one: you messed up the course; now you better run! So off to Greece did he slip out of town... it's not that bad Ed, now wipe away that frown Leave your mark that's what's been said... just another day in the life of old Special Ed

It's an interesting course with a gradual uphill and several gentle turns to a straight away finish. After the run the Kid's are treated to Ice Pops and other refreshments. Some of the Kid's afterwards also help out at the water stop for the three mile. Awards are then presented in two age groups (under 9 and 10-14) for both boys and girls. The group has been expanding every week. Cost is only $1 per race. The Three mile also enjoyed an expanded field with about 100 runners. Complete resultsare posted. Click here for more information on the series. Races are held every Thursday with the Kid's Mile at 6:45 PM and the 3 Mile Open at 7 PM. All full time students are only $1 for either race.
The Annual 32 Furlong Road Race at Monmouth Race Track in Oceanport, NJ is set for Tuesday, August 1. The race winds through the grounds of the Park and finishes up on the Race Track in front of the Grand Stand. Applications have just been printed and should be available at the Running Store in Shrewsbury and at Miles Ahead Sports in Manasquan or just Click Here! For a PDF version. An application is also scheduled to be available online at the Monmouth Park website. The Jersey Shore Running Club will continue its traditional support of this long standing and fun event at the Jersey Shore. The Club will be organizing the Kid's 8 Furlong Race which is extremely popular and preceeds the 32 Furlong. As usual the event features lots of entertainment headed up by Tim McLoone and the Atlantic Coast Band. There will be lots of awards including Tickets for 2 from Continental Airlines. Proceeds benefit the Monmouth Park Charity Fund.
It isn't Bali Hi, Brigadoon, Camelot or Shangri La, but it is Wanamassa, Interlaken, Loch Arbour and Allenhurst (all Monmouth County, NJ), about as close as you'll get to an ideal setting for a road race and that's just where the Jersey Shore Running Club designed its course for its annual Father's Day 5K with sign-ups and award presentations at the elementary school on Bendermere Avenue, Wanamassa (pretty native-American name - it rolls pleasantly off your tongue as it's recited).
Kate Miller, 24 (pictured below after receiving her award), of West Long Branch was first racer in for the women's division on June 17th, from the 3.1 mile course that starts and finishes at the school and meanders through the towns' tree-lined, shady, macadam streets, adjacent to stately residences with well-manicured lawns at 19:27 (19 minutes and 27 seconds [8th overall]). "I did an 18:01 at William and Mary (College in Williamsburg, Va., hosting a track meet) representing the University of Richmond," said Miller when asked her best time for a 5K distance. "A very pretty, residential area with a lot of shade and it' flat and fast, offered the women's champion when asked her thoughts on the course. Dave Demonico (pictured below receiving his trophy), 32, South River, fresh off a victory Thursday night at the JSRC's Wall Township Summer Series, where he set a course record, was this race's 6th annual overall winner, of the 151 competitors, on this sunny, cloudy, high-humidity morning at 16:18. "A lot of shade - sharp turns with dips, where you had to watch your footing, had to slow up and change gears - and the course management as a whole was just excellent," were some of the observations offered by today's overall champion when asked about the course.
Rounding out the top three for the men were Rich Caponigro 17:17, Ocean and Richie Broxmeyer 17:18, Milltown. Coming in second for the women was Erin Marie Quinn 19:33 (11th overall), Hoboken and third was Dawn Ciccone 20:39 (22nd overall), Highlands. The Top Cop winners male/female were Thomas Brennan 19:55, Plainfield and Kate Jackson 21:04, Spring Lake, respectively. Bruce Jones, of Jackson Township and Jim Gaul, Wanamassa police officer, co-directors, awarded trophies to these winners as well as age group leaders and father/son and father/daughter teams on the grounds of the school while the wilted racers were enjoying refreshments.
The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association # 57 was the beneficiary. Scoring was compiled by Liz Ireland past-president of JSRC and Hoyle Mozee, Long Branch, was the official timer. The event also included a 2-Mile Fitness Walk and Kids Races. The names of the many sponsors were printed on the race's T-shirt. " I'm very pleased with the turnout and want to thank the towns' police for traffic control and am grateful for all the volunteers who make all our races possible," said Jones.

For anyone planning on running (or just thinking about it) any of the many Fall Marathons here is a training schedule of long runs planned starting this July. The Runs are scheduled at our regular Sunday Meeting location in Middletown starting from Bodman Park or at the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell. You can go to either location. The Reservoir location is fairly flat, easy on the feet and conducive to pacing. You can jump in on any or all of these runs even if you are not doing a marathon. If you are training for a marathon at a different date you can adjust accordingly. Starting time for the runs is 7:30 AM for 20 milers at Bodman Park, 8 AM for other distances from Bodman and 8 AM from the Manasquan Reservoir Site for all distances. Liz Ireland will coordinate the Bodman runs; Jerry Convery will coordinate the Manasquan Reservoir runs. At Manasquan Reservoir you can run 5 mile loops with the idea that you will have running partners up to 20 miles. At Bodman Park you can run long for 10, 11, 12, 15 or 17 miles staying in the "Stone Church" area and going through Hearthshorne Woods. With the "Monster Loop" you are committing to run either 19 or 22 miles. These runs are stamina, strength runs with hills and varying terrain. All these long runs are set up for Sundays. If there is an unforseen conflict, we could move a session to Saturday. Contact Jerry Convery at 732-290-1920 for more information or if you have any questions. Here is the complete schedule:
