Race Fee Increases!

There are some local races in the next few weeks that will have fee increases very soon. Don't wait to sign up!

Strawberry Jam 5k - Vollmer Farms is hosting a cross country 5k on The Back Forty this coming weekend as part of their Jump-N-Jam day. The race entry is only $25 through tomorrow, but jumps to $40 on Wednesday. They have a simple online registration form. I am not sure, but it looks like you pay at the race, and just sign up online. The race should be lots of fun, and is something different to try.

Lake Kristi Tri - Greenville will have the Lake Kristi Sprint Triathlon on May 31st. This is a great race to introduce people to triathlons. It is a half mile lake swim in a calm man made lake. The bike is 15 miles, and the run is a 5k. The entry fee is only $40 which is a steal for a triathlon. It goes up to $60 however if your entry is not postmarked by May 23rd. At least five RMEC people are doing this race. It is a short drive, and does not even require a hotel stay. Go join them! Need a bike? Ask the RMEC. . . someone may be able to help.

Medoc Trail Races - Okay, I admit, the Medoc prices do not increase until the end of June, but we would really like to see some of the 17 people who voted in the poll to start signing up. So far two people from RMEC have registered. We are actually seeing pretty good enrollment numbers for a race that is four and a half months away. We have a club of 10 runners who is signing up, and we even have a runner from New Mexico registered. If things continue at their current pace, the races will likely fill up. Early registrations greatly help the race committee, because we can pay for more expenses now, and have better planning. If you plan to run, please sign up early, and don't forget to use the discount code for our club. Let me know if you need the code. Thanks!
