President’s Message

 

Challenges facing ARRC

Everyone knows that club membership declined during the 90s.  Last year, we did rebound, because people started to step up and become involved.  This year and beyond, we need to re-examine our purpose for being, re-think what we are about, and be willing to be more than we have been.

 

A year ago ARRC committed to the road series idea to promote the small town event, and encourage our members to take to the road and have fun.  We hope each of the series events will be successful and have the numbers they need to continue.  But just going to races for our own satisfaction can no longer be enough.  Our mission as stated in the By Laws is “to promote fitness through running”.  While what we do has done that, we see that area high school running programs are now competing with new sports like soccer and softball, and some coaches are struggling to have enough runners and financial support to keep their programs afloat.  Running must be viewed as a basic sport and fundamental to for the conditioning in variety of sports.  Running is something we can adopt as a fitness lifestyle and take with us for years of active and healthy living.

 

Our mission must also encompass the future runner and that’s why we need to reach out to the youth.  Yes, we already have our children’s program, and we intend to continue.  Yes, we already have high school runners join us during the summer and that will continue.  But those elements are not enough.  The ARRC board now believes that we must openly and systematically support the high school runners in our area.  That’s why we have chosen to use the White River Run as a means to raise funds for this purpose.  That’s why we have approached area business with the premise that we intend to establish a fund for both general support and for scholarships for high school runners.  That’s why we will be seeking your ideas and financial support for our new purpose and plan.  This year, we are announcing the plan, and reformatting our sponsorship requests so that in 2001 we can be in position to take positive actions. Run the Mounds will continue to support our children’s program.  We must invest in the youth, the future runner, if our existence and purpose is to continue.

 

You can help us in a variety of ways:

1.      Renew your membership and help recruit new members.

2.      Support the club events by either entering, volunteering or providing additional financial support.

3.      Offer your help to an area high school (or middle school) team.

4.      Help recruit area business that will support our new strategy.

 

Please contact an ARRC board member with your comments or questions, we need your input and support.

 

See you on the trails,

Bob Hart,

President ARRC

 

 

 

Notes for the Present…

 

Point races will begin on 11May and end with the 28 September race.  There will be NO point race on 06 July.  All races will begin at the Shadyside Activity area (old beach house). Frank St Phillips has steeped forward to direct this year’s Fun Run races for our children.  Children are a very vital part of our club, not to mention the future of our running club.  If you or a member of your family would be willing to assist Frank, please contact any officer or Frank at the race.  The Children’s One-Mile Fun Run will also begin on 11 May 2000.  Start time for the children will be 5:30 p.m.   Restrooms and showers will be available.

 

 

The Anderson Roadrunner’s Road Race Series began April 22, 2000, with the Noblesville Sunrisers Kiwanis Spring Run.  It is not too late to enter the series, however, in order for your points to accrue you must have your club membership and Road Series fees paid prior to the race you wish to have your points scored.  A minimum of eight races must be run in order to qualify for an award.

 

 

21st Annual White River Run is scheduled for June 10, 2000.  Start time from the Anderson YMCA will be 9:00 a.m. Distances for this year’s race will be 12K and 5K.

Notes for the Future…

 

During late summer or early fall, the Anderson Road Runners Club officers would like to hold a “Reunion Night” as part of our Thursday evening Points Race.  The idea is to bring back former members of our club and reunite them with the current members.  If you have any suggestions, comments and ideas that you would be willing to share to help bring this thought to reality please contact Bob Hart.

 

It will not be long until the Run the Mounds race, November 05, 2000.  Race director, Bob Hart, is already beginning work on this great trail run.  If there is any member who would like to be a sponsor or contributor for this event please contact Jim Hoffman, Bob Hart or any officer.  Levels of participation are as follows:

 

     Major sponsor- $500.00 and above

     Sponsor- $200.00 - $499.00

     Contributor- $50.00 - $199.00

 

Thought to run on…

 

Runners who want to run fast must associate with what they are doing. This

means that they must focus on their form, breathing, and feelings while

they run. They monitor signals from all parts of their bodies that allow

them to run they’re hardest. - From Amby Burfoot’s Runner's World Complete

Book of Running, page 158.
