CARPET CAPITAL RUNNING CLUB ANNUAL BANQUET

February 27, 2010, 6:30 p.m.
The Engine Room 1525 Waring Road
Menu: Pot Roast Fried Chicken 5 Vegetables Dessert and drinks

Greetings CCRC Members,

The 2010 Carpet Capital Running Club Annual Banquet has been rescheduled for February 27th. If you agree that the decision to postpone the banquet last month was a good call, it was my decision. If you think we should not have postponed it, the decision was made by your new President, Daniel Parson.

As earlier planned, the event will be held at the Engine Room on Waring Road at 6:30PM. We had a tremendous crowd at our 2009 banquet and expect this year to be even more successful. The 1/30 crowd was 120 and we hope to meet or exceed that number for the rescheduled event. In addition to recognizing the 2009 Woody and Elaine Cornwell Volunteer of the Year, and the 2009 CCRC Runners of the Year, we will honor the 2009 Daily Citizen News All Area High School Cross Country Runners.

We will also introduce the 2010 CCRC Officers and provide an update on where we are as a club, and some of what the club has accomplished in 2009. This will be my last event as President of CCRC and I hope to see everyone there for great food and a great time of fellowship.

This event will be a "no roll zone" so you talk about ,and embellish all of your running stories to people that actually want to hear about your exploits on the road, and they won't roll their eyes once. I can't wait to hear about Randall and John's "goofy challenge": a half marathon one day and a full marathon the next. Wow! The ones of you who are running the Chattanooga Half Marathon earlier in the day can really "talk it up". I won't be running the race, but will be at the finish line to cheer my daughter and all of you guys on while baby sitting my twin grandsons. We can also update everyone on the planned Dalton Half Marathon.

Please either reply to sanders@optilink.us or call 706-694-3692 before February 22nd to let me know how many people will be attending. We want to make sure we have enough food, but also that we don't pay for food that is not eaten. The cost is $10 per person, and that's a deal considering the cost to the club is $16 per person.

This will also be a great time to pay your 2010 membership dues. They are $10 for individuals and $15 for the entire family. The CCRC dues structure has not changed since the club was formed as the Dalton Track Club in 1982 and is less than half the cost of other track clubs in the area.

Thanks again and I really hope you can make the event.

This is a great venue for new members to join

Carpet Capital 10 Miler

Our club's premier event is the annual 10 mile race held every second Saturday in December and run continuously since 1988. It is in the Run & See Georgia Grand Prix series and is also the RRCA Georgia State Championship. The course is very unique in that it winds entirely through the rolling countryside of Northwest Georgia and even passes a quaint country church playing its Christmas bells. Check out the CC 10 Miler homepage for yourself. We hope you can join us for the race and a bowl of homemade soup afterwards.

Life on the Haig

July 10, 2009

The weekly Saturday morning Haig Mill run is a tradition that has now gone on for years. It is just a morning run among friends beginning at the home of Brad DeLay (me, the webmaster) and running out and back down Haig Mill Road....click for more
