The Start of Week 5 of the Summer Series

Week 5 of the Summer Series sizzled with the hottest weather of the series with temps in the mid 80's and high humidity. Still a large crowd of about 200 participated in the evening races of half mile, mile and open 5K.

In the 5K for the men it was Luciano DeOliviera who made his first appearance of the season coming in first.  For the women it was Dactilia Booth, a repeat winner who came out on top.  Luciano and Dactilia received Mizuno Running Shoes for their wins.

Next Week - Series Finale

The series continues next week with our handicap race.  We will take your fastest time and then assign you a start time.  The slowest runners will go first and fastest last.  Slow runners should be prepared to start at about 6:45  PM.  Please plan to get there a few minutes earlier so we can assign everyone their start times and get going on schedule. We will run the 5K course in reverse starting where we normally finish.

We will also have our regular Kids Races.

After the races we have our Post Race Party with Pizza, soda and other snacks. We will also be handing out Series Awards to all the top finishers - we will be going deep in age groups so hang around for your award as you must be there to get it.

Week 4 of the Club's Summer Series was not a complete wash out but pretty close to it.  But the rain did not deter a hardy group of participants who wanted to get valuable series points. As it turned out it was actually a pretty good night for running with light rain cooling off the runners as they made their way around the 5 K course in the complex. 

Come on out for Week 5 of the Summer Series which will be Mizuno Night - winners in the 5K will get Running Shoes courtesy of Mizuno.  . 

To participate in the final week you need to have run in at least one race so we get your handicap time so come on out this Thursday.  Remember Youth under 18 are only $1.00. Rumor has it there is a Post Race Party every week in the parking Lot.

There are still a few Openings for the "Run a 5K"  Beginner's Running Class as part of our Summer Series which Starts this Coming Monday, July 27  -  -Sign Up Now for Class Starting on Monday, July 27

Ocean Grove Biathlon

Award Winners From Thee Ocean Grove Biathlon

A good turnout foe the Annual Ocean Grove Biathlon held on Saturday, July 18th in the Victorian Jersey Shore Town of Ocean Grove.  A slightly modified course from previous years  for the runners and swimmers. The race started off with a 2 mile run starting in town and then along the boardwalk and back to the beach and  a 300 yard swim in the ocean. The ocean was calm for the swimmers as they dived into the water for their swim along the shore and to the finish on the beach.  It was on the warm side for the runners who certainly cooled off with their dip in the ocean.

Coming in first for the men was Phil Hume and for the women it was Dawn Wilcox.
