Ryan's Run 5K
June 25, Middletown, NJ
The Start of Ryan's Run
Steve Waite of Little Silver was the
Men's winner in a time of 15:51 and for the women it was Jill Evarts of
Middletown in a time of 18:00.
The Second annual Ryan's Run was a
big success, thanks to great weather, volunteers, runners, sponsors and the help
of the JSRC and Phil and Penny Hinck! This 5k event takes runners through
Middletown's horse country and into Huber Woods Park for a brief cross country.
It is a favorite shore area event for many! Our race is a special family event
that has attracted some great runners, and supports a great cause, the RAKMF.
www.rakmf.org Thank you very much to the family of JSRC runners who come out and
support us.

The Start of this Year's Sheen 5
Miler
A spectacular day for a spectacular event at the Jersey
Shore. The George Sheehan 5 Miler was again dominated by the elite Kenyan
runners who put in some spectacular times. The men's race was extremely
close with the winner Isaac Aruesei shown finishing on the left having an edge of a few
seconds. For the women on the right it was Eunice Chepkirui in a time of 27:28
Congratulations to Race Director Phil Hinck and his assistant
Penny and all the volunteers from the local running clubs: Jersey Shore
Running Club,
Freehold Area Running Club and Shore Athletic Club as well as all the local
organizations who made it a true community event.
There were lots of spectators along the route cheering the
runners on and giving them encouragement..
Special Thanks to Gina Dorio of Madison who volunteered to
sing the National Anthem at the last minute and then ran the race - see photo
below.
In asking George Sheehan what his father would think of the perfect
road-racing weather after he had just finished registering at Marine Park in
Red Bank for the upcoming early morning race, The George Sheehan Classic,
which is dedicated to his late father, a cardiologist, and who is
affectionately known as the "Running Doc," Sheehan thought for
a moment and confidently said, "Optimal - no excuses!"
To the unitiated in the running world it might take a few paragraphs to
explain what that comment means but to all who had the good fortune to
personally know the "Running Doc" they will know exactly what it
means, and will be accompanied, no doubt, by a smile or even a chuckle
as it did of the creator of the comment.

A great turn out for the first week of the Jersey Shore
Running Club's 10th Annual Summer Series of Races held at the Wall Municipall

The skies were threatening and a gentle rain cooled off the
runners on the 3 Mile race while the Kids got their races off clear and
dry.
The winners of the Half Mile Run for those 9 and Under were
Andrew Dombrowecki of Ocean in a time of 2:26 and Kelly Campbell of Wall in a

Thursday Helpers Needed
Please Consider Helping Out Your
Club!
We need a few volunteers to help
with the registration and scoring of the Thursday Evening Summer Series of races
for youth and adults which starts on June 16. Volunteers need to be at the
Wall Municipal Complex by 6 PM. If you would like to volunteer (no
experience necessary) just email us to let us know you are coming or to
get more info. Please email us at jsrc@hotmail.com
You don't need to be at every race!
Cost to Put on a Race
Good article on the cost to put on a race and where your race
registration fee goes. Not included are the time and effort of all the
volunteers. Next time you run a race thank the volunteers or send a thank
you note. And if something does not go right please understand that all
those people are really trying their best and they are not getting paid for
their efforts. If results are late - don't blame the
volunteers.
Of course the best way to "pay back" is to volunteer
at an event and get involved. Then you can learn first hand what is
needed. The club is always looking for volunteers and even Race Directors
for many of our events. Email jsrc@hotmail.com
to volunteer.

"I
just wanted to thank the entire support team and sponsors for a wonderful event
Saturday morning! I have just started running in races over the past 12-18
months and this was truly one of the best appointed – starting with the 5K
signs on the roads leading to the event, to the potted flowers lining the awards
table, to the clean port-o-johns, to the music, etc. etc. etc. - there was
nothing lacking at this event. Though my boyfriend and I are residents of
Somerset county, we will continue to look for running events sponsored by JSRC."
