No runner left behind!

3) Thunder Road Volunteering https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TRVolunteer
We have committed to 40 course marshals in the Dilworth area. Please sign-up as soon as possible so that we can get a good head count to meet our goal. Volunteers receive free 2012 CRC membership AND get a volunteer shirt. Please come join us to help this local event on 11/12 and to cheer your fellow club members running that day.

4) CRC Annual meeting on 11/20 RFYL SouthPark

2.30pm - call to order of annual meeting, elections announcements

5) Club Fall Gear - You asked, we delivered! Check out SHOP at our website for the latest fall/winter gear. Get it now so you have time to receive it before your big fall race. In addition, we have kids gear available at: http://www.cafepress.com/runcharlotte
A couple other places to find CRC branded goodies:
InsideOut Sports has running socks with our logo. Ask for them at the front desk.
RFYL has some CRC singlets and tech shirts remaining. Ask for them as well.
TrySports has CRC running hats available for sale.
Charlotte Running Company has CRC singlets and tech shirts and will be getting the new hoodies and singlets in the store.

6) Group Runs - List has been updated on our club website (http://www.charlotterunningclub.org/). In addition, you will find a link on the group runs page at our website to a spreadsheet that breaks group runs out by pace, location, day. We alsways encourage new group run leaders and information about group runs throughout the city regardless of whether they are CRC led or not.

7) Archived newsletters - We now have every CRC newsletter we have published available online. What a cool history we have! Going forward, newsletters older than 3 months will be published.
The link is always available under Facebook links or go directly there at:

8) Marathon Season - This past weekend the first major marathon kicked off and Charlotte was well represented as usual. With plenty more to come in the next two months, send a shout out to your club friends with some words of encouragement when you get a chance and/or join the marathoners on a few training runs. It can be a long grind preparing for a marathon but very a very satisfying accomplishment. Go CRC!!!
