President’s Message
If you have not been to Shadyside or participated in
the road series this year, you have missed some fun. Our attendance has been great; we have
several new members running and walking with us. On August 9th, ARRC staged its
second annual reunion night. Several
past presidents, members and friends attended.
We presented lifetime club memberships to Sandy Ferris and Fred
Fulcher. Both Sandy and Fred have given
several years to the benefit of the club and to running.
Most everyone has seen the evidence of trail maintenance activity at Shadyside. The Park Department is repairing erosion damage, fixing bad places in the trail and also plans to do some limited resurfacing. So far our runs have not been disrupted, but if we have to make any accommodations to help the maintenance people, we will. Listen for announcements on Thursdays or check the web site. ARRC is very appreciative of the Park’s efforts to make the trail safe and more enjoyable to all users.

Notes from the past…
Past club member and
2ND ANNUAL
By Kevin Harry
Under
threatening skies, the Anderson Roadrunners Club held its second annual reunion
night at the bike path. And although the weather was cloudy and steamy, the mood was sunny as old and new came together to
recognize current and past members of the club. Those in attendance included:
Jerry Lacy, Luella Porter, Cindy Kennedy, Sandy Ferris, Wendell Parsons,
and Jim Hoffman. Many other supporters and volunteers were also on hand
to enjoy the evening. Special lifetime membership awards were presented
to Sandy Ferris and Fred Fulcher. Also, special recognition was given to
the club's past presidents in attendance. Without these dedicated, past and
present members, our club would not be the success it is today. Our sincere
thanks to each
and every founding member that had the vision to begin something that would
grow and produce new generations of
runners, keeping the sport alive and well in Anderson. Thanks to all in
attendance.
Notes for the present…
Welcome to the following new members: Courtney and Stephanie Bartlett,
Alan Bell, John Cogle, Peggy Hart, Marjorie Johnston, Judy Lawhon, Zach Nyboer,
Lisa Phagan, Joan Sauter, Sherry Underwood, Betty Whitehouse, Scott Wilson and
Jim Williams. We are glad to have you
join us!
Another big round of applause and thank you to the following persons and
businesses for sponsoring a race during the Thursday night one lap series: Tommy and Lori Goodson, Brian Sanders, James
Leffler, Community Hospital, Bridges Massage Therapy, Bob Hart, Gene Chandler,
Wendell Parsons and Bill and Pat Miller.
Your support is very much appreciated.
Without financial support from members and “friends of the running
community” the Anderson Road Runner’s Club could not offer the White River Run and Run the Mounds races.
Along with financial support we have a great volunteer group to make
both of these races first class events.

individuals and businesses that make these two events possible:

Bob has been a member of the Anderson Roadrunners for 3 years now, and it has been fun to watch his progress. He has gone from running the one-lap races to doing his first marathon last fall. Bob has been a competitor from the beginning. And right along the sidelines you can find his wife and pet dog supporting each mile he runs.
