From the President ~George Peterka The new AURA and UTS year started with the Full Moon 50K/25K. A big thanks goes out to Susy Chandler and all the volunteers for putting it on. We had 384 finishes. It's unbelievable how that race has grown. When I first ran it in 2004, there were 62 runners.
Also, a big thanks to Tom Aspel and volunteers for another great race on Mount Nebo. It was a foggy start but a good turn out and a good time was had by all.
I want to remind everyone who has not renewed their AURA membership to do so now. Visit http://www.runarkansas.com/AURAmembers.htm to see if your registration has expired. I also want to remind anyone who is thinking of joining the UTS http://www.runarkansas.com/UTSraces.htm to do so because you don't get points for races you ran before you joined.
We are still working on the UTS race schedule, but it is starting to take shape. I want to thank everyone in advance who will be working on the Traveller. Your time is very much appreciated.
Best regards, George Peterka
