Laces & NewsWhat's Going On? January '10
First annual Resolution Run attracted many of our club members who ran or volunteered for this exclusive invitation-only event. December '09 Annual Jungle bell run around the lake is on Saturday, Dec. 19. at 8 AM at Dave's house. A fun run in the Sparta Mountains - wear your Red! Bagels and hot cocoa afterward. Contact Dave or Pam for details. October '09
Sparta Runners Club's youngest member, Chris Scott, made his début at the Glen Challenge and placed second in his division. Chris Scott participated in the revitalized Sparta Glen Challenge race on October 3rd which is a cross-country style trail race held in the Sparta Glen. After months of watching his mom, Kathleen Scott, run and race with the club, Chris was determined to join in the fun. He decided to attempt what turned out to be a very challenging course as his first race. The hills were a killer, but he managed them very well. Great job, Chris! ~ VWL (photo courtesy of Kathleen Scott) September '09 Membership renewals are due on October 1. Members should have received a reminder via e-mail. Please contact Pam or Glenn regarding renewals - remember, if you joined this year after July 1, your membership fee covers the next year as well. Lucky you! Haven't joined yet? No worries, why not come out and meet some of our members at a weekly run - see the club calendar for our Wednesday and Saturday locations and times. We love meeting new people and welcoming back friends after summer vacations and time away. It's all good! June '09 Update on the National Running Day, June 3rd Okay, so it rained. But that did not stop us from holding our open house and yes, we had a visitor who was interested in joining our rag-tag group! Then 4 of us headed out in the drizzle for a 6 miler doing the run/walk method of run 5 minutes, walk one minute. We had a blast. Come run with us on Wednesday nights for a nice trek through town. We meet at Station Park Duck Pond at 6:30 PM. We run/walk anywhere from 4-6 miles.
The Sparta Runners Club is hosting a free Open House from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM on Wednesday, June 3rd at the Pavilion in Station Park to celebrate National Running Day. At this special event, members of the local SRC will be greeting participants and providing information on running, run/walk, and other run related topics for beginners and experienced runners. The Club will also lead participants on a run/walk for beginners and a longer run for experienced runners starting from the Pavilion at 6:30pm. Water and Gatorade will be available to participants. National Running Day is a new initiative whereby many major organizations within the running industry are joining forces to nationally and locally promote running as a healthy, easy, and accessible from of exercise. From New York to San Diego, the day will celebrate the benefits of running as part of a healthy and active lifestyle aimed at combating some of today's most pressing health issues. "During these times, we all could use a good run." said Pamela Conlan, President of The Sparta Runners Club. "Running is fun, inexpensive, easily accessible and perfectly targeted at some of the biggest health issues we're facing, like childhood obesity, heart disease, and stress. Best of all, you don't have to be an experienced runner to participate. Whether you run for five minutes, 15 minutes or 45 minutes, every little bit counts." For anyone interested in joining the group run, please be at the Pavilion by 6:15 PM, and wear comfortable exercise clothes and sneakers. December '08 101 Reasons Why We Run by Pam Conlan October '08 September '08 Running A Marathon In Training For A
Marathon August '08 3 Days: 60 Miles, My Journey I Ran the Half-Wit Half Marathon,
and Lived to Tell the Tale July '08 On a sunny July morning a few "Rebel Runners" decided to follow a route one of us found on Map My Run (great site!). Anyway, we started in Loantaka Park in Morristown and did a 17 mile loop through the Great Swamp - what a blast. A bonus was that we met some really friendly runners from the Rose City Runners Club that meets there every Saturday morning. They were kind enough to invite us to run any Saturday morning - just bring a little something to share for an after run meal. Great stuff! Loantaka Park-Great Swamp Loop (16.83 mi.) Morristown, NJ June '08 Garmin 405 v 305 June: Visitors from Iowa! In early June we had the pleasure of hosting two runners from the Missouri River Runners club based in Sioux City, IA. Dean and Lorraine ran with us on a VERY hot and humid Sparta morning for an 8 mile, hilly trek through Sparta Mountain. They were in town for a family event and found us on Running in the USA under clubs. How wonderful! Be sure on your next trip to check out that website to see if there are clubs in the area. - Run On, folks!
We have decided that we are more than just about running. After taking a very scientific poll, we are now hosting an after-run pub night a Krogh's once a month as well as a monthly breakfast hosted on a Saturday. If you want to know when these events are taking place - you gotta join!
