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.
 
"I love setting goals and doing my best to achieve them. Training for and qualifying for Boston was one of the things I'm most proud of. It was very emotional for me coming into the finish line and looking at the clock and realizing I'd made it."
 
                                                 Mike Kaiser, RW Challenger of the Week.
 
With this quote in mind: I know that feeling that Mike had.  Delco RRC helped me to achieve that dream several years ago.  Your dream might be to complete a 5K,5 Miler or 1/2 Marathon.  Whatever your running dream/goal may be, don't give up on it.  Come out to a one of our many Fun Runs, let us help you reach that goal.  Do it with friends, it is easier.

Swarthmore Fun Run - Every Wednesday - Our Most Attended Fun Run!
 
41 runners and walkers joined up at the Swarthmore Fun Run last night. 19 people went to Swarthmore Pizza after the run to enjoy good food, drink and friends.  Remember, you don't have to run to join us for dinner.  Come on out and join in the fun.  All abilities are welcome both to the run/walk and to eat.
