Benefits of Racing
We all know there are many benefits to running and in turn, running races. Here’s another benefit you might want to take advantage of.
With around 2 dozen local races every year, there are plenty of events to participate in and most of them rely on our support. As another benefit of being a club member, the Sunflower Striders are going to offer the following incentives for those who are current club members during the entire calendar year beginning January 1, 2010.
Any member who participates (runs or walks) in 8 (eight) or more local events during 2010 will be awarded free entry into the 2011 Topeka to Auburn ½ Marathon. Any member who participates (runs or walks) in 12 (twelve) or more local events during 2010 will be awarded free club membership for 2011 (beginning April 1, 2011) along with free entry into the 2011 Topeka to Auburn ½ Marathon. Races will include all events held in Topeka along with the Rock Creek trail races and the Rossville Tall Corn race. Either distance will apply for events with more than one distance, such as the Governor’s Cup.
Keeping track of who runs which race and the number of races each individual runs will require extra record keeping. So, you as members and participants will need to help in that regard. To officially be documented as participating in a race, names and times must be published in the club’s newsletter. Everyone should be well aware that the procedure for submitting results is by sending them to Lana for compilation for the newsletter.
It would be nice to be able to list all the local events for 2010, but with races coming and going and a few changing their dates from year to year, that’s difficult to do. Most of our races have been established for awhile and are held at approximately the same time each year. We’ll do the best we can to keep everyone apprised of upcoming races on the web site as well as in the newsletter.
The Topeka Sunflower Striders Running Club is a non-profit organization committed to the overall health and well-being of all who engage in physical activity.
Please join us on an upcoming group run, or race.
If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, about this website, please feel free to contact the webmaster, Charles Steinkuehler.
