3rd Annual Hurricanes Wrestling Club Turkey Trot

MRC members and Fit Playground participants (and Matilda the dog) braved the early morning cold temperatures on November 27th, 2008 to participate in the 3rd Annual Hurricanes Wrestling Club Turkey Trot.

Chris Walker was the overall male winner of the 5K event, while Sarah Elder was the overall female winner.

Thanks to the Hurricanes Wrestling Club for putting on the free event. Congratulations to everyone who participated!

Volunteers needed for organizing trail runs

Due to injury, I will probably be taking some time off of running. Therefore, the MRC is seeking a volunteer or two who wouldn't mind organizing and leading some trail runs.

What is required?

• A willingness to plan a specific meeting site, day, time, location and to map out a few routes over the next month or two - weekends or weekday evenings
• Email me the info at least 3-4 days in advance so that I can post it to the MRC site
• Hang around a bit and make sure everyone arrives back to the meeting site safely (yep...keep a cell phone on ya)

Send me an email or post a comment if you are interested. Two people would be preferred so that the same person doesn't have to be at every run.
