The Friday night workouts are moving to the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail starting this Friday (5/22). Be at the boat launch parking lot, just south of the Water Street Market on Plains road, by 6:30 pm. Give yourself enough time to get warmed up.
Did the wind help at all during the run? Hope you all enjoyed the weather out there today. It may have been a bit windy but the sun was out and it was dry…except for a few spots on the course. A good turnout and a good start to the spring racing season.
Results are available at – https://shawangunkrunners.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/2015-Bridge-2-Bridge-Results.pdf
Keep an eye on the 2015 Races page for links to pictures once they become available.
We look forward to seeing you all again at upcoming races.

Pat Sheeley is putting together a Wednesday Evening Run during the Winter at SUNY NP.
Time: 6pm
Location: In front of the SUNY NP Wellness Center
Distance: 4-6 miles
From Pat:
“Pace will be determined by amount of people who show. It’s not a race.
In March, we will start doing some tempo training but for now it’s basically just a casual run to get miles in.”
If you’re on Facebook please join the Shawangunk Wednesday/Friday Night Running Workouts Group for updates

Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting last night. I think we had a fantastic turn out and lots of ideas.
First, it was decided that the club would become an official member of the Road Runners Club of America. We will begin the process and paperwork and hopefully become official soon. We also had to chose board members as part of the process. The following are the board members for 2015…
President: Steve Schallenkamp
Vice President: Beth Glace
Treasurer: Dan Freedman
Secretary: Greg Cecere
Technology: Christopher Regan
We will keep people posted on the progress and when we officially open up sign up for membership.
It was decided to continue the Youth Track Club and more details about this years sessions will be available in the near future.
I continue to work on chip timing for the group. I’ve been learning during the process and hopefully it’ll be ready for primetime for our races this year.

To all Shawangunk Runners:
Hey everyone, a reminder that we have a meeting this Friday at SUNY New Paltz, immediately following the track workout. Pizza will be served.
We absolutely need to discuss a proposal to become affiliated with the Road Runners Club of America, and the adoption of appropriate bylaws. We must decide what to do with the Youth XC Track and XC programs, since the former coach, Alan Serrano has moved. Additionally, we have to set dates for all 2015 club races.
Please, please try to attend, we need the support of as many runners as possible!
Thank you,
Beth
