RRRC's Virtual First Day 5K started our New Year
221 runners and walkers signed up for RRRC's Virtual First Day 5K. See everyone's Results. Congratulations to DJ Vile who posted a finish time of 20:22 and won the award for finishing closest to 20:21. He actually ran two 5Ks trying to get it perfect: one on Saturday in 20:19 and one on Sunday in 20:22.
Thank you to all participants who posted Photos in RunSignup. It was great to see your smiling faces, along with creative routes & "first" signs on your run! Three winners among those who posted photos were randomly selected to receive gift certificates from Lucky Road Run Shop. The winners were Margaret L. Broaddus, Timothy Stewart, and Heidi Villanueva.
Thank you to the 40 individuals who donated a total of $453 to RRRC's scholarship fund. Applications for high school seniors will be available in late spring.
Thank you to new race directors Victoria Hauser and Suzi Silverstein for their work this year.
Look for those First Day 5K runners sporting their new RRRC neck gaiters.

2021 Grand Prix Competition is open for registration (no cost)!
The Grand Prix Competition is RRRC’s free running competition that encourages and rewards speed, participation and volunteerism.We're optimistic for 2021, but anticipate that COVID-19 will continue to impact RRRC races. We hope to host many of our club races in-person, but each of those races will have a virtual option if local or state directives require limits on participation or continue to recommend the wearing of masks and social distancing. If a 2021 Grand Prix club race cannot be held in-person, RRRC will host a virtual race. So GP participants can earn race points for in-person or virtual races, earn place points for in-person races, and earn volunteer points supporting our races and other club activities.
SignUp Check out the GP rules for details, including other changes because of COVID-19.

Tempo runs will be Saturday mornings from the RRRC Club House. Track workouts will be a weekday evening (TBD) at Sports Backers' Stadium.
