GRR entries on par with 2009's Record
Gate River Run Race Director Doug Alred reports good numbers for 2010's entries. “Last year’s race produced record entries, with more than 18,000 participating in the 15K, 5K and Junior River Run,” Alred said. “We were hopeful the record pace would continue into this year and so far entries look very strong,” he said. “At our Jan. 31 checkpoint, we had nearly as many entries into this year’s 15K as compared to this time last year. We are very encouraged for another great year.” There is a cut off for 15K entries - so don't delay signing up!!!
It's a new year Runners, and that means JTCRunning gets Running busy!!!
We have some big JTCRunning events coming that need some attention and your help.
First up: is the 35th annual Winter Beach Run - and its official name has been changed to The John TenBroeck Memorial Winter Beaches Run - no, no John, just kidding, - we'll left it as "Beach" Run - so it's The John TenBroeck Memorial Winter Beach Run. (John would always be sure to correct anyone who called it the 'Winter Beaches Run'). The 10 and 5 mile run on the beach is slated for February 14. What a great Valentine's Day date. John would undoubtedly appreciate your giving Lamar a call to help out: 388-7860

Next up: We're going to have the JTCRunning tent at Prime Osborn Convention Center for the 26.2 with Donna Marathon Expo. This is a great way to meet new runners (new to running, also), brag about our club a bit, and hopefully get some new members. Bill Rogers hung our at our tent signing his book and chatting with people for two hours last year - so who knows what may come about this year!! We would love for some club members to help represent our club on both Friday and Saturday (February 19 and 20). There will always be a board member there - so don't feel you will be left to fend for yourself!!!! Carol Fitzsimmons is putting together 2 hour blocks of time where we need coverage. Please email her or call 886-4019. 26.2 with Donna site
Lastly, on March 13, we will host a 15K in downtown Jacksonville. It's the 33rd annual Gate River Run....you may have heard of it. It's a huge deal. It's the USA 15K National Championship (that means Olympians - past and future). It's the John TenBroeck Cup Team Championship (even more Olympians). It's an event that will raise $25,000+ for charity. It's an event with a great Expo with great prices. It's an event with a great Post Race Celebration. And it's a LOT of work. This year's run is expected to draw 80,000+ people to downtown Jacksonville, 20,000 of whom will compete in the 15K Run, 5K Run for Charity, or the Jr. River Run (one mile kids' run). They come from every state and many countries. Yea, a huge deal. We can always use help with this event - leading up to, during, and after. If you are not running especially, please consider helping out. You get the satisfaction of helping to stage the largest and best 15K in the country (country, not county). Volunteer on line right now!!! Click Here

And within the Gate River Run, JTCRunning will again be hosting its Hospitality Tent for Club Members and guests before and after the run. The tent will feature adult root beverages (no potato vodka), adolescent friendly beverages, food, bag stowage, good GRR chatting, and the ever popular, (mostly) line free, port-a-potty. We would also like a few club members to stay in the tent during the race. If you'd like to be apart of the Hospitality Crew, please contact Larry Sassa via his email or call 699-0466.
