Race schedule
Following are our race opportunities thus far for the fall.
Sun, 9/22 - 10/27: Healthy Kids Running Series, Cinnaminson, NJ
We have had a good number of our teammates compete in this series in the past. It looks like the series is being hosted at Memorial Fields in Moorestown this season (254 S Church St, Moorestown, NJ 08057). The Healthy Kids Running Series is a series of races over 5 Sundays at Memorial Park (9/22, 10/6, 10/13, 10/20, and 10/27), starting at 5:00pm and ending by 6:00pm, open to kids from pre-K through 8th grade. Distances are based on grade (Pre-K 2/3 Year Old - 50 Yard Dash, Pre-K 4/5 Year Old - 75 Yard Dash, Kindergarten & 1st Grade - 1/4 Mile, 2nd & 3rd Grade - 1/2 Mile, 4th & 5th Grade - 1 Mile, 6th to 8th Grade - 1 Mile). The cost is $50, which includes a tech shirt and a medal.
Sat, 10/26: Merchantville Zombie Run 5K and 1 Mile, Merchantville, NJ
This is a race that a few of us have done in the past, which was a lot of fun. It has 5K and 1 Mile options. You can feel free to wear your favorite costume for these races.
Thurs, 11/28: Moorestown Turkey Trot 5K and 1 Mile, Moorestown, NJ
We usually get a good turnout from our club for this race. This is a low key, low cost ($10) race at Moorestown High School with no timing (they usually do run the scoreboard clock for the 5K so you can see your time at the finish) and no bibs / shirts to pick up. A great way to start Thanksgiving Day!
Our club will participate in local races and events throughout the year for any members of the club who are interested. Participation in races and events is optional.
We will look to participate in events offering both shorter races (e.g. 1 Mile) and a 5K so that all members of our club have an opportunity to compete. We will warm up together before the races as a team.
Our club will also participate in community volunteering activities and hold social events throughout the year.
