President's Column ​

​

 

​As we enter the winter months, we would like to offer a warm welcome to our new members and wish all of our members very Happy Holidays.  

​

All those that owe 2025 dues should have received an email to renew their Club membership.  Please click on the renew link in the email. The process to renew is very simple. 

​

We want to thank Kavish for hosting the Jingle Bell Run and Party that is a RCR holiday tradition at his beautiful home. The weather cooperated for the run.  Great crowd, great food.

 

Glögg Run: We were so worried about the government shutdown of Jockey Hollow, we hadn’t considered the weather would cause a closure.  We diverted our event to our usual place in Loantaka and a good time was had by all. Despite the driving conditions, Dick and Pam Helmer made it all the way from their new home in Purchase NY.  It was so special to see Dick and Pam.  Thanks to John Rushman for the Glögg.

​

St. Patrick’s Day Party! We are in the process of planning a St Patrick’s Day party, date and place to be decided.  Stay tuned for more information.  

​

Tuesday AM Runs: We are pleased to report that Kavish and Jim have started early morning Tuesday weekday runs in Chatham at 6 AM.  Please contact Kavish for details.  We are also continuing with Meet-Up and hope to welcome even more new runners going forward.  

Our RCR Annual Meeting will be held on Zoom this year on January 14, 2025 at 7:30 pm.  A separate email will be sent out with a Zoom link.  Everyone is invited to attend and ideas and input from our members are always welcome.  

​

Please remember to share your race reports with us.  We would love to include everyone’s accomplishments in our newsletter.  Unofficial firsts are also important so please let us know what/where you have been running.  Some of us have started discussions about what food and/or drink fuels our runs.  Please feel free to share what food/drink you like to use to power your runs and we will publish in our next newsletter.

​

The great part about this Club is the community that we’ve built.  Thanks for being part of the Rose City Running Club and we look forward to running through this winter together.

​

Warmest regards,
Wendy & Carol
