Where is the RMEC?

Ford's Colony Race: Just a quick reminder to the RMEC that it is time to sign up for the Ford's Colony Races! I am not sure why, but we have hit a hot streak with registration. We had 13 sign ups just yesterday alone. . . and only one of those was for the 5k.

We are blowing the doors of the the 2008 registration numbers, and will sell out. What makes this the most surprising, is that most of the RMEC runners are not signed up. Doing a quick scan of the attendee list, the RMEC is lagging behind right now. By my count we still have over 30 members that have not registered yet.

As we make purchases and order supplies for the race, the sooner people sign up, the easier the race is to manage. If you plan to race, please take a few minutes and sign up today. Club members can use the code RMEC10 to save 10% of their entry fee.

Medoc Trail Races: I also wanted to take a minute to remind you that we need volunteers for Medoc! This race takes a minimum of 50 dedicated volunteers to pull off. Right now we have 13 volunteers. If you are racing the Marine Corps Marathon, we hope you will consider volunteering at Medoc the week before. If you are not running the Marine Corps. . . sign up to race Medoc! Whichever you decide, volunteers and runners should register online.


If you have not visited the Medoc site lately, you may not know that we have runners coming from 11 states to run the race! You can visit our interactive map to see where people are traveling from. Be sure to zoom out so you can see them all!

    I have signed up for the 10K at Ford's Colony. Since Elaine and I will be heading to the beach that afternoon (I know you are all jealous), we need to complete our long training run on Sat. morning. We are thinking that we may run 6 miles before the race starts. If that's the case, we won't be winning any medals. If we decide not to run before the race, we still won't be winning any medals. However, we plan to enjoy ourselves to the max. Misty

  4. That great news that the races are filling up so fast! I wish you would post the attendee list on here, like you did with the sweetheart race. It would be nice to see who all is running.

    I had not checked in a while, but I just noticed that we are up to 16 volunteers for Medoc. That is still far from the total we need, but I was surpised to see so many already. Thank you guys!
