Upcoming Events by Vivian Wilson

 

The Newark Distance Classic will be held this year on Sunday, March 21st.  It is a good event to kick off the season since there is both a 5K and 20K race – something for everyone, no matter what your training level.  George Grosso has volunteered once again to organize the traditional after-race lunch at a Spanish restaurant in Newark.  If you are interested in being part of the lunch group, please let George Grosso know at 908-782-9104 or gagrosso@gmail.com – reservations will be needed. 

 

This year’s St. Patrick’s Day party is being hosted once again by Bill and Linda Walsh on Saturday, March 13th at 6:00 P.M. at a new location!  Since the bars should be too crowded that evening, the Walshes have picked another Morristown location.  The address is 198 Franklin Street on the corner of Franklin Street and Madison Avenue. It is a big old white house with columns, formerly known as 146 Madison but they changed the address to Franklin since it faces Franklin. There is no parking on Franklin, but room for 30-40 cars on the property. Also, there is an office building on the other side of Madison Avenue.  Bill and Linda will be providing the traditional St. Patrick’s Day meal, along with beverages to celebrate the occasion. (Thank you, Bill and Linda!)  Club Members should bring an appetizer or dessert.

 

The Jersey Shore Relay will be held this year on Saturday, April 17th.  This a relay race with five legs from 4.5 to 6 miles each.  The run goes from Seaside Heights to Asbury Park, along beachfront roads and boardwalks and is fast and flat.  We hope to be able to enter several teams of five (all skill levels welcome!). For those of you who haven’t done this yet, it is a very exciting event and a great way to get to know other club members!  If you are interested in being on a team please contact George Grosso at 908-782-9104 or gagrosso@gmail.com.
