Yes, fellow Bucks Country Road Runners we are just a few hours from our FINAL race of the season. It always amazes me how quickly the series flies by. We start planning almost a year in advance to put this crazy set of races together. We have a large team of volunteers that puts this shindig together. Some are involved all year long, some all season long, some for their race week and some simply the day of the race. I have no idea how I would do my job as Winter Series Director with out each and everyone of these amazing people. I am eternally in their debt.
With that said, what really makes the Winter Series go is all the great runners that show up week in and week out to run up and down the hills of Tyler State Park. We have runners of all ages, abilities, sizes, and backgrounds but we all have a love of running in common. It is this common bond that makes our club go and makes these races the wonderful experiences I hope you all find them to be. While the club continues to grow and change I know the common bond of running never will.
So, as I finish getting ready for the race tomorrow I will be thinking of all of you. I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow and jumping in a club photo with you. I will be at the start to see you off and at the finish to watch you complete the 2016-2017 Winter Series.
Please get to the park a bit earlier so we can get in our club photo and we also have some extra announcements including an important one regarding our end of season celebration!
Thanks to all of you for making the 2016-2017 Winter Series the best yet!!!!
ONE MORE TO GO!!!! Staggered Start!
