Greater Fort Lauder Road Runners Club

I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.  I always look forward to participating in the Tamarac Turkey Trot and seeing all of our Running & Walking Family there.  I am so thankful for having such a wonderful extended family.  Running has helped me in so many ways, given me a large extended family, helped me stay fit and found me a loving husband.  For those reasons and many more, THANK YOU for being part of our Running and Walking Family.

As I write this month’s message, our club has two every special events in October.  The first is our A1A 15K / 30K Training Run sponsored by the A1A Marathon & Half Marathon on October 17^th.  We expect about 250 participants and many of those participating use this as their tune up for the Fall Marathon or the start of their training for the A1A Marathon in February.  In any case, we appreciate all your support and look for more on this event in next month’s newsletter.

Our other event in October will be our Spooktacular 5K at TY Park on October 30^th. This race always brings out a great group of participants that dress up in the best Halloween Costumes.  We move the race back 15 minutes this year to 7:15 AM so that we have better daylight.  We are expecting over 400 this year.  Look for more details in next month’s newsletter.

This month we have our Board of Directors Elections on Thursday November 18^th at George English Park.  We will be electing the Executive Committee (President, Vice President, Secretary  and Treasure) and ratifying recommended changes to our club Constitution and By-Law.  This would be a great time to show your support of the club by attending this Fun Run / Walk at 6:30 PM and at 8:30 PM stay for the election and party afterwards.  The only requirement to vote is to be a current member of the club.  Hope you  will show your support and cast your vote.

Next month, we have three events starting with Jingle Bell Jog on December 4^th at Sawgrass Technology Park in Sunrise, Turn On the Light 5K on December 18^th at Tradewinds and ending the year with our Resolution 5K on December 26^th at Birch State Park.  Check out our web site www.gflrrc.org for more details.

Run for Fun,

Cynthia
