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.
Please park in the elementary school parking lot at Shadeland Ave and State Rd. 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
