Run to the Lights
Save the date. Once again, Bill and Shirley Weber are hosting the Delco RRC's annual Run to the Lights. Start from the Weber's and join us on a short but fun run to view the Christmas lights on display in Drexel Hill. 6:30 pm on December 19th though we won't start running on time...do we ever? The best part of this may just be the after run activities that take place in the Weber's home. Loads of good food, drink and fun are had every year since they began hosting the event. Please join us for a fun-filled evening. You don't have to run, feel free to join us just for the after-party which actually starts the same time as the run. Weber's address is 720 Shadeland Avenue, Drexel Hill, PA 19026. Feel free to bring a desert, treat or bottle of wine but certainly not necessary. It is the start of the holidays and we must eat heartily. Click HERE (weber720@comcast.net)to send Shirley an email so she can coordinate the good eats. All Delco RRC is welcome. I really, really hope to see you there. |

5k Chilly Chili Trail Run And 1 mile Winter walk.
Thank you so much to everyone that came out and supported the Race.
A week before the event, I believe the organizers were debating on holding the event or not because of the low amount of entries. The registration numbers picked up during the week, and race day sign-ups were strong.
About 10 Delco runners ran the race and others showed up to cheer them on.
Club members took home many of the awards as you can see in the race results.
The race was followed by pasta and pizza for lunch in the new community center.
The trails were great and a good time was had by all. It made my day to see the good turnout, especially all of the delco runners. Thanks.

Calling all Delco RRC Team Runners
2013 is the 50th Anniversary of the Caesar Rodney Half Marathon. The date is Sunday, March 17th, 2013, St. Patrick's Day. If you want to compete on a Delco RRC team, do NOT register as an individual. The team entries have a longer deadline, mid February. Last year, we had four great teams. The master's women got first place. The teams are composed of seven runners scoring five. We can field master men, masters women, open coed (for you fast folks), and a new one coed masters. If we have seven runners per team, the cost would be $38.00. This is a BARGAIN! The individual entry is $50 up to 01/31/2013 and goes to $60 up to 3/16/2013. Please think about running for the team. I'll start collecting names, information, and money after the holidays.
Thanks, Dennis Tate

Dear Mike
Thank you very much for your help. I did manage to go out on one run - would have been more, but wound up visiting more folks than originally thought. I went out with the group on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and found them to be very welcoming and friendly. Please can you relay my thanks for the welcome and how very grateful I was to have met those folks in Swarthmore.
Kindest regards
Sarah Henderson
