Welcome to New Members –  Geri O’Brien

Our Membership has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past several months.  We’ve had sprinters, basketball players and a member who skied on the Canadian racing team.  Runners trying to get back into running on a regular basis, those who have already done a marathon and those hoping to do their first all joining us.  So, whatever level you are, “welcome” and we hope to help you to always put your best foot forward! 

Please welcome our newest members: Celeste Fondaco, Bob Koppenol and Steve Cesareo 

Celeste has run 69 marathons which include 5 – 50 milers and 10 50 K’s.  She was the president of Amazing Feet RC from 1982- 1993 and is still an active member.  She joined RCR to be a part of the 60+ running team. 

Bob has been a distance runner for 35 years.  He ran cross-country and track at Summit High School and Trenton State College.  He worked in the financial services industry before he opened “Starting Line Sports” in Madison.  Bob is married and has three children and is currently assistant coach for Madison Recreation Track Team. 

Steve is married and has a daughter and twin sons, all of whom are runners. He has been running on and off since high school and regained a passion for it after getting in the NYC marathon.  Steve works for Tri-County Orthopedic and Sports Medicine.  He is also a coach for Randolph Youth Track & Field and Cross Country programs. 

Hope to see you every Saturday at 8:30 AM!
