Breeder's Cup Race
As you may know the Breeder's Cup is
coming to Monmouth Park this October. It is one of the most prestigious
horse racing events in the country if not the world. To mark the occasion
a race will be held on the grounds of Monmouth Park which will be similar
to the Haskell Race which used to be a staple at the Jersey Shore in year's
past. This event has tremendous backing and will certainly be a huge
production and a one time spectacular in road racing at the Jersey Shore. Based
on its success the Haskell Race may return next year!

the people who signed up in a week or two.
Running to Fight NF
To help the 2 million people around the
world (mostly children) suffering with Neurofibromatosis (NF), three Holmdel
residents are working together to increase public awareness of NF and raise
funds for NF research. Kelly Brogowski, a school counselor at Holmdel
High School, and Florence McCarthy met a few years ago through a mutual
friend from St. Catherine's. Soon they learned that they had something else in
common - running. They formed a friendship through the Jersey Shore Running Club
(www.jsrc.org) and two years ago they decided to run the Virginia Beach
Rock-n-Roll 1/2 Marathon together for little Aidan, a student at Village School
who suffers with NF.
In 2005, Florence ran the NYC Marathon
for Aidan. In 2006, Kelly ran NYC for Aidan, both as members of the NF Marathon
team - the primary fundraising vehicle for the Children's Tumor Foundation (www.ctf.org/marathon).
This year, they have enlisted me to join them in the race for NF research. We
are all running for Aidan and all those who suffer with NF, for hope, for
effective treatments, for a cure.
This past April, the three of us ran the Jersey Shore Relay from Seaside
Heights to Asbury Park. This past weekend, on September 16, we three ran the
13.1 mile Philly Distance Run. And last but not least, on Sunday, November 4th,
the three of us will be running the 26.2 mile NYC Marathon as members of the NF
Marathon Team program, in support of the Children's Tumor Foundation.

JSRC 9/11 Memorial Run
A large crowd of several hundred runners, along with many spectators, participated in this Year's
9/11 Memorial Run, starting in Belmar and continuing through Spring Lake. Tim Mahoney, accompanied by
cadets from West Point Prep, led the runners, and participants read the 140 plus names of the Jersey Shore residents who lost their lives on that tragic day six years ago. The group ran in silence on the way out with a stop at the
9/11 Memorial along the ocean in Spring Lake. At the end of the Spring Lake boardwalk runners gathered around remnants of the World Trade Center and read another portion of names. Then they solemnly laid flowers and flags around the remnants. The runners then returned back to the start and a post run reception at Bar Anticipation.

If you have been accepted (check
your status here) into the

your transportation to the start. The JSRC will again be offering
convenient transportation to and from the NYC Marathon for runners and
spectators.
Sign Up as soon as you know you have
been accepted as space will be limited. We will have at least two busses

busses we had last year were sold out so don't delay - this is the best way to
get to the start and get home safely with all your running friends at the Jersey
