FINAL 2009 Grand Prix Standings

FARC Banquet
The annual FARC Banquet was held Sunday January 17th at Brock's.  A big Thank You to our Grand Prix Director Bert Jacoby for organizing the event, and to anyone else who had a hand in putting it all together.  If you missed it, you missed a great party, with great food.

If you were unable to attend or forgot to claim an award, please find Bert Jacoby after the Champion Chase (January 24), Sweetheart 4-Ever 4-Miler (February 7), or Thurston Companies/YMCA John Robbins Organ Donor 8K (March 7) to collect your prizes. I will be at the awards ceremonies for those races and can distribute unclaimed prizes after the awards.

Don't forget to go to the Grand Prix Page to submit your sizes for the 2010 series, register as a clydesdale/athena, and to view the new FARCman Extra Mile rules.

It's Winter Time!
It doesn't mean it's time to hibernate!  There are a lot of runners in the club who regularly meet to run at various times of the days, and on various days of the week.  Don't be afraid to post to the RunFARC Yahoo Group or Facebook page to find that perfect group for you, to help keep you motivated through the cold winter days.  Remember, that the spring races are just around the corner!
