9-11 Tribute Run at Holmdel Park
In conjunction with our regular Wednesday evening Club Run at Holmdel Park, we
would like to invite any and all interested runners to join us this week for a low-key
tribute to the victims and rescue workers involved in the 9/11 tragedy. We will begin at
6:00 p.m. with a moment of silence, followed by our normal five (5) mile tour of the
park. We would encourage all participants to wear red, white and blue and/or carry a
flag while we run, so that we can display our patriotism and remember all the victims
of last year's tragedy. Perhaps we can get some of our vocally talented fellow
members to lead us in a rendition of "God Bless America" before our run begins. Just
as a reminder, we meet near the main pavilion in Holmdel Park at 5:45PM so that we
are ready to start at 6:00PM. Other details can be found on the Group Run page of the web site.

"Let Freedom Run" Race
Dear JSRCers,
I'm trying to get some club interest up in a 4 miler to be held September 14th, 9:00 AM in New
York City. Check out the Race Calendar for all the details. The course will go past the site of the
WTC and end in Battery Park. I was hoping we could get a good JSRC turnout (a sea of safety
orange), and take the train up, ala NYC Marathon. This will be a memorial/tribute to the almost
3000 INNOCENT PEOPLE MURDERED last September. Anyone free the 14th? Thanks!

If you are doing NYC or any Fall Marathon an excellent way to get ready is with a group. The
Club has several options available for training. All paces and abilities (from sub 3 hours to 5
hours plus) are represented so you will always find a group to run with on those long runs. There
are plenty of water stops and great refreshments at the end. If it is your first marathon you can
pick up some excellent pointers along the way. Why not give it a try this Sunday? Get more
information on the Marathon Training Page. Also - if you are doing a Fall Marathon consider
getting one of the Club's distinctive Orange Singlets - it is a great way to stand out in a crowd so
friends and relatives can find you. Get info at the JSRC Gear Page.

Club Teams Excel in the Big Apple
JSRC Men's Veterans take 2nd in NYRR Club Championships
Our Vets did it! We accomplished what we wanted despite being challenged by injuries, heat , and
humidity. Running through the "soup" masquerading as air in Central Park for 5 miles, the Vets
team took second place overall (unofficially) and moved into second place overall...nudging GNY
into 3rd place. We also widened our lead over the fourth place team (SIAC). Overall, Taconic
Road Runners, the perennial champ, remains in 1st with 121 points, we are 2nd with 91, GNY is
3rd with 89 and SIAC is 4th with 75. Remainder of the field is too far back to worry about.
Remember this is our first year of racing as a JSRC Team. We now need to lock in the award by
fielding teams for the remaining 4 races! Our top finishers were: Bill Scholl(29:50), Tom
Hall(30:06), John Shavel(31:38), Dave Sauls(32:40), Russ Stallone(34:14), and Mike
Anstadt(34:40). They were backed up by Jack Cheer, Jerry Convery, Bill Dunn, and Ron Cohen.
JSRC Masters Hold 2nd Place.
The news on the masters front. Unfortunately we lost our frontrunner Bob Bythell to injury and,
hopefully, it's nothing serious and he'll be back healthy soon.(We need him for the upcoming 5k!)
But, we still managed a fourth place finish! With double points, we did not lose ground to anyone.
Central Park TC remains in 1st with 126 points.(another perenial champ) We are second with 95.
West Side Runners (WSX) sneaks into 3rd overall with their first place finish and now has 68
points. Staten Island drops to fourth place overall with 60. So, bottom line, we retain our 27 point
lead over the (new) third place team!!!! Well positioned with four races to go!!! Our top scorers
were: Mike Mooney(28:29), Bill Scholl(29:50), Tom Hall(30:06), Cliff Russell(30:22), and John
Schavel(31:38). They were backed up by Jeff Neis and Tom Mulvaney. Overall, great effort by
everyone in VERY trying conditions!!! We should all be proud! NEXT RACE SEPTEMBER
22ND - XC in Van Cortlandt Park. Let's put it on ice, so we can make reservations for the NYRR
Awards Banquet!

Broadway Classic
My name is Joe Mirarchi, and I am appealing to all the runners that I have met at various races
and events I have participated in over the last five years. As a member of the Long Branch
Volunteer Fire Department for over thirty-two years, I have witnessed the destruction of property
and injuries to human lives. In January of this year, the fire department witnessed the life of one
of their firefighters taken at a fire scene. Robert Feeney, a firefighter with the "Phil Daly Hose
Co.", collapsed while operating an engine and attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.
Bob leaves a wife, plus four children of school age, and a "Children of Bob Feeney Education
Fund " was developed and being handled by the "Phil Daly Hose Company" of the fire
department. As one of the co-chairs of the "Broadway Classic 5k Race" on September 28, the
committee decided this years proceeds from the race will go directly to support this education
fund for Bob's children. I have been working on sponsors to cover the expense of this race, so I
ask all my fellow runners to PLEASE participate in this great cause, as each entrance fee will
go directly to the fund Thank you!
