Tails 'n Trails--A Doggone Good Time!
May 11, 2002

The 6th Annual New Jersey Shore Marathon Weekend was MARVELOUS!!  (Wet, but marvelous...)
Thanks to all who volunteered!

Here's why we enjoy staging all of our events!

Dear Club Members of  NJRRC,

  You always put on a great trail race.  Thanks for all the water stops I needed them on this warm spring like day.  The refreshments are always tremendous.  Thanks again for a well run classy race.  The chowda was super,  I like the tortellini in the soup.  Because I did not have extra money for the food bank, I will send you some money soon.
  You all need a great round of applause!  I will see you at the next race.  Also the ribbons for the slain victims of 911 was a wonderful tribute at the December run.

God Bless you all.  Your Running Friend,
Todd Richter

Special congrats to the Millennium 2000K+2 runners, who completed a year of running with the 12-mile Celebration Run on Sunday, 12/30!

The Hartshorne Woods Autumn's End Trail Run

There were 348 participants in this most special of Trail Runs that honored the heroes of 9-11.

From a participant....
"YOU DID A GREAT JOB" on this race. The firefighter relief fund was definitely a good cause. The personal name tags for each of the firemen lost was a unique way for each of us runners to be more involved in the race. I plan to wear my fireman's tag each race I do in 2002. The opening ceremony should be the way ALL races should be started. And lastly you satisfied my hunger with the excellent "vegetable chouder".  Great job, keep it up, I'll be coming back often."   Bill Malone

Each Autumn's End Trail Run will now benefit the NY Firefighters 9-11 Relief Fund in honor of
Cpt. John Fischer, Ladder 20.

R2C6--Three NJRRC Teams had a Blast!

On the bridge in Milford--Larry Corley starts out early Saturday morning.	It was a day of cameraderie and challenges for our three teams at the 92-mile River-to-Sea Relay. Congrats to all!
	Many hours later--NJRRC 3 at the beach in Manasquan.

The No Frills... All Hills 5K, July 28th   Over 90 runners came out on a pleasant Saturday morning for a chance to earn an "I Survived the No Frills-All Hills 5K" T-shirt and, more importantly, to meet the guest-of-honor, Bernie McCauley.  The start of the race was held up by the aforementioned Bernie, who was stuck in line for the porta-john, but once on the course, runners were treated to encouraging signs such as "What goes down must come back up" (this on the steep hill leading to the water's edge) and the music of Abba blasting from a boombox; (enough to make anyone run faster!) For top ten results click and Special Awards, click here. Shown are Bernie McCauley (the big guy) and the winner of the Bernie McCauley award (who almost beat him!) From a NJRRC member: "We had so much fun doing the race on Saturday!   The course was hard.  I'm glad--we got a great workout! ...We always feel wonderful after we run with the NJRRC.  The members of the Club make you feel like you can accomplish whatever you set out to do!!!"
