President's Corner

July 1, 2008

GREETING FELLOW RUNNERS.   If you are planning to attend one running club event this year! If you are planning on running in one race this year!  This is the event you need to participate in. The John Bruner Memorial 35th Annual Missionary Ridge Road Race will be held Saturday August 2nd at 8:00 AM.  Due to the significance of this event to our club we need to have a very large contingent of CCRC Club Members participate.

What could you possibly be planning that would be more important than showing your support for this event?

Want to save gas? Respond to this email that you have an interest in car-pooling and we'll make the necessary arrangements for everyone with an interest to meet somewhere that morning.

We will display the CCRC banner and have a tent at the event. Wear your CCRC or Team Bruner T Shirt and let's show our support.

Please go to the CCRC Web Site for a link to the race.

Hope to see you there!

If you have any suggestions to make your club better just drop me an email.

David Sanders, President CCRC

New CCRC Wicking T Shirt

July 1, 2008

We now have a limited number of wicking (technical) t-shirts with the CCRC logo on them. These shirts are great for hot weather running or as a layer in the winter. You can purchase them for $15 each, plus shipping of $2 per shirt if you want it mailed to you. See the shirt (click image for larger picture) modeled by Jeff Paterson's son on the attached picture. Some members have already received a shirt from the first order and from all reports I have heard, everyone loves them.

We are encouraging members to wear these shirts at the next club race at Missionary Ridge on Aug 2nd.

Dalton Daily Citizen

The students who watched Dalton firefighter Douglas Kerns run the stairs at Dalton High School in his heavy firefighting gear this spring didn't know why he was doing it. But on April 19, Kern's training resulted in a second place finish at Climb Atlanta. The competition, sponsored by the American Lung Association, challenged Georgia firefighters to climb the stairs in Atlanta's Bentley Forbes building while wearing their turn-out gear. >>more
