Hello Delco RRC

Have something interesting to add to the email?  Forward it to me at info@delcorrc.com.  Thanks to those that always give me support.


"Being an athlete is a state of mind which is not bound by age, performance or place in the running pack."

With this quote in mind: Come join us at one of our many Fun Runs.  We've really got the "all ages" and "all paces" thing covered.
