Heritage Festival 5 Mile RESULTS

Turnout for this years' Spring Track Series was outstanding. We saw students from local high school track teams, parents with their elementary and middle school children, and FARC regulars. Thanks to everyone who came out, and to Allen Vaughan for leading the event.

The FARC Summer Cross Country Series starts July 9th at 6:30 PM and runs every Thursday for 5 weeks. The race is a cross country 5k at Pratt Park. All ages and abilites welcome. Please see the calendar page for more details.

We need to get a feel in the level of interest for a CPR class. We need to have a minimum of 5 people signed up, and cost is $35 per person. The dates we can do it are Monday July 20th from 7-9 PM, and/or Monday August 3rd from 7-9 PM. If you are interested in attending the CPR class, please RSVP (Edit: by July 7th for the July 20th class) Janice Lasker laskfam@gmail.com and let her know that you'd like to attend, and which date you could make it. Thanks!

If you are a 2008 Grand Prix award winner and still have not picked up your Grand Prix Prizes, including bag, shirt, and *special* prize, Bert Jacoby will be available after the Mental Health 5K on July 19th. (Note: Socks will need to be picked up at VA Runner.)
For questions, please contact Bert at farc.grand.prix@gmail.com.

The Fredericksburg Area Running Club is proud to announce that in the past 5 years, we have donated nearly $95,000 to local charities. We encourage you to view the list of charities here.

We posted a riddle about a month ago about the new Yankee Stadium. We received 4 correct answers and drew 2 of those names out of a hat to determine the winners. The winners were Alan Godfrey and Gary Grimsley. They both will receive a free entry into the Annapolis 10 Miler on August 30th. Congratulations to both! Here is the riddle with the answer.

If you missed the banquet, or forgot to pick up your 2008 Grand Prix shirt, you can pick it up after any of the 2009 Grand Prix races from Bert Jacoby. For questions, please contact Bert at farc.grand.prix@gmail.com.

Anyone interested in being a part of the FARC Social Committee, please contact Holly for more information.

FARC is looking for a volunteer to lead an educational committee. This person should be willing to set up clinics and educational opportunities important to the running community at-large, as well as attend FARC Board meetings. If you are interested, please contact Holly Bisbee.

FARC is also looking for a volunteer to head up marketing. We need someone specifically talented to help us promote the club and the races in the press and other clubs in the region. FARC's thinking is that once you get all the email links set up, it shouldn't take more than a couple minutes a month of your time. Anyone interested in becoming a marketing director for FARC please contact Debi.
