Medoc Needs Your Help

Okay RMEC. . . Medoc needs you!  We need 8-10 volunteers willing to help clean Medoc Mountain State Park trails this coming Sunday afternoon. We had tried to do this last Sunday but there just were not enough volunteers.

We plan to meet at the Picnic Shelter at 2:00 PM and with enough help we should finish by 4:30 or 5:00. Bring work gloves, a rake and either clippers or loppers. This is not super hard work . . . no chain saw cutting or major tree removals needed. Park Rangers have done all that already. Just getting the major limbs off the trails that Irene hammered!

If you can help, please call Frank Lilley at 252-586-4307 and let him know that you can help!

LABOR DAY Holiday Run

Since it is a holiday tomorrow, some folks have expressed an interest to have a group run.  Come join us if you want to get in some extra weekend miles.  The distance and route is up to you. Wake up early and run!  Margaret has volunteered to put out fluids.  Thank you Margaret!

• Where: Monday, 7:00 am @ Harris Teeter
• Supported: Yes
• Weather: Forecast

See you all in the morning.  Happy Labor Day!

RUN RSVP: Saturday 9/3 @ Harris Teeter

It feels like Fall just might have arrived!  Should be a great day for a long run.  Keeping with the OBX schedule we posted before, we will have a 14 mile and a 6 mile route tomorrow.  Don't miss this chance to keep your training going in the right direction.  Wake up early and run!

• Where: Saturday, 6:00 am @ Harris Teeter
• Supported: Yes
• Weather: Forecast
• Routes: 6 Miles and 14 Miles

Even though the temperature has dropped, we are still going with a 6:00 am start.  Several people are going long, and this will keep thing cooler.

The 14 miler is a bit tricky, please be sure to review it before the run.  Both routes go out in the "Outback" direction, but are not exactly the same.  See you all in the morning!

August 26th Race Results

Wanted to send out congratulations to several RMEC members who raced this past weekend.

HIGH COUNTRY HALF MARATHON: Congrats to Ron Fleming who continues his assault on tough races. He ran a 1:30 half marathon at the High Country Half Marathon on Saturday. This course shares much of the Grandfather Mountain Marathon roads, and climbs 1,467 feet. He placed 7th overall.  RESULTS

WARRIOR DASH:  Congrats to Amber, Jon, and Dennis for completing the Warrior Dash this weekend. Dennis CRUSHED the race by placing 26th out of 5,810. WOW! That gave him 2nd in his age group.  Jon places 3,688th with a time of 52:09.  Amber was right on his heels with a 52:39.  Great job everyone!report. Can't wait.  RESULTS

RALEIGH 8000:  The RMEC had a good showing at the Raleigh 8000 in both runners and volunteers.  I am unbelievable grateful to all of the Rocky Mount people who traveled to Raleigh to volunteer.  Selfishly I had been looking at the Raleigh forecast not realizing how dangerous it was becoming at home.  Major thanks to William, Jeff, and Ursula.  I completely understand those of you who were not able to help, and hope everyone suffered minimal damages.

On to the race. . . Brian Lankford and Patti Miller both took 3rd in the Master's Division! Derek Hurdle ran a 35:38 taking6th in his age group despite back pain.  Levi placed 12th in the same age group with a 40:28.  Brandie Ghiloni and Alane Floyd completed their first 8k with a 1:12:06.  Greg Delbridge place 5th in his age group with a 37:59.  Eric Ghiloni also completed his first 8k with a 54:20.  Jeff Hartney escaped the cost and was able to win his age group with a 32:46.  All things consider, a heck of good day for the RMEC!  RESULTS

Golf Club at Rocky Mount 5k & 10k

The RMEC has 75 members in 2011.  Right now 47 of those members are not registered for the Golf Club at Rocky Mount 5k & 10k.  As a club, we represent a majority of runners in Rocky Mount.  This is one of our two club races.  We need you and your families participation.  We are almost at 200 runners, and about 90% of where we were last year on this date.

If you do not have other obligations on September 10, please sign up to race or volunteer.  We encourage kids to race as well in the 1.5 Mile Fun Run.  Club members and family can save with the code "RMECMEMBER".  We do track for any abuse.

Help us plan better, and sign up today!
