For the little town of Pine Beach it
was a huge field of over 1600 runners which may have topped its total

28th. With bright sunny skies and a cooling ocean breeze the runners made
their way around the Jersey Shore town with a finish along side the park on the
bay.

Summer Series Week 1
Finish Photos in Time Order for
half mile, mile and 5K
The Start of the Summer Series 5K
The
Club's Summer Series got off in grand fashion with a large turnout and the
runners were greeted to some near ideal running conditions. With some cooling
breezes the temperatures dropped by race time.
Kicking things off was the kids9 and
under half mile - for some unknown reason the lead pack decided to take a
turn onto the soccer field which set them back a bit but they got back on track
and all finished strong. It was followed by the kids 14 and under mile which
circled the soccer fields. Coming in first were Sam Lucid in a time of 6:07 and
Megan O'Dowd in 6:19.
In the new 5K course which was 1 and
a half loops around the complex along the running path the overall winners were
Matt Nelson shown finishing on the left in 16:46 and Dactilia Booth shown
finishing on the right in 19:46. Clarence Lurch continued his domination of the
80+ age group finishing first again. The first Race Walker was Fran
Emanuel.
The series takes a week of for the
Fourth of July Week and continues on Thursday July 9.
Thanks to all the volunteers who
showed up to help with registration, scoring and the other tasks necessary to
stage the event.

Some Notes
Some Notes - Have received
several emails from members asking why their times are not posted. If you would
like your time posted you must send it in to jsrc@hotmail.com.
I don't generally scour results to find members times. Also - try to send in
your results as soon as possible but at least the week of the race. That
way your results will be posted along with everyone else's. Don't send in a long
list of results from the past several months - old results may not get posted.
Also received several inquiries why
there were no photos from several recent events or why their photo was not taken
at a race. I was away for the pre - Father's Day Race and missed that race
and am not at every event. I do try to take everyone's picture.
Sometimes you might be missed because it gets crowded or you may be hidden by a
runner in front of you or its just not a good angle. So please keep that
in mind. Photos are available for purchase as prints or digital downloads
at a very modest cost compared to other photos services. The photos don't have
logos or "proof" over them so you see the entire image as well unlike
other photos sites.. If you want to keep the photos coming consider purchasing a
few!

Run, Middletown, NJ
One of the Two River area's premier
running events Ryan's Run - an annual 5k run and 1 mile fun run/walk on the
grounds of Mountain Hill School in Middletown, New Jersey is a fun-filled,
family oriented athletic event that attracts runners from the New York Tri-State
area and beyond and is
complemented with food, drink, music, and awards. Celebrating its sixth year,
Ryan's Run has become a favorite among the running community due to its well

serenity of Huber Woods. Describing the race's distinctive appeal, Ryan's Run
Co-Race Director Mario Gagliano said, "Fortunately we have a beautiful area
of New Jersey to work with and have created a unique road and off-road
experience for the 5K race, something few races at any distance offer."

Marathon Training Set to Start
Its not too early to gear up fore
your planned Fall Marathon or Half Marathon. As we always do our Sunday
Runs at Bodman Park are an excellent location to get your training in. The
course is mostly shaded from the summer sun and has plenty of water stops, good
company at all paces and post run refreshments. We meet every Sunday at Bodman
Park in Middletown which is just off of Navesink River Road. We run on
back roads and trails with very little car traffic so its a safe place to
run. Start your training at an upcoming Sunday Run. Runs start at 8 AM and
in the summer the long run group usually goes out early to beat the heat.New! -
