Bottle Hill Day

Thanks to Amy Duncan, Tom Gallagher, Barbara Rushman, Maureen Zeman, Emily Lummer, Arlene Driscoll, Lynda Brush, Kathryn Ellerton, Len Morgan, Shirley Pettijohn, Andy Bria, Chuck and Dede Paul, Dick Celler, Dick Helmer, Elliott Koppel, Jim McGrath, Vivian Wilson, and Ed McEneany for manning the Rose City Runners "booth" at Bottle Hill Day in Madison on October 3rd. We were lucky to have such great weather, giving us a big turnout of people. We gave out lots of applications for Club membership and the Giralda Farms Run. And we sold T-shirts and mugs to the tune of $147.00!

25th Annual Giralda Farms Run

On Sunday November 8 we are looking forward to a big turnout of racers and club volunteers to enjoy our fall classic on the beautiful grounds of Giralda Farms.

This year we are once again hosting the USATF-NJ Masters Championship Race. This should be a big draw for the top racers in the state. We continue to have Open and Corporate Team Divisions, as well as Parent/Child Team Divisions. All of these team categories are age and sex adjusted so they can compete fairly against the others in their division. And there is a ¾ mile fun run too!

We still need a few more volunteers. All volunteers get a race shirt and are invited to join the post-race party after the race ends, which will be at the Madison Community House. (Directions will be available at the Saturday morning run). Traditionally we bring an appetizer or dessert to share.
