Although we have transitioned to new board leadership, be assured that RRR continues to go full throttle in making your running and racing experience as pleasurable Annual Persons of 2 and rewarding as possible. the Year Award We are springboarding into 2012 on the coattails of an especially successful campaign in 2011. Our five club Team RRR 4 races drew 5,700 participants, a 20 percent increase from 2010. Our races also donated $65,000 to local charities last year. The charities affiliated with the club‘s races also raised an additional $60,000 in direct sponsorship, individual and team contributions, for a total of $125,000 attributable to the club‘s efforts in Swifty Sixties 5 2011. Turkey Trot Sets 6 Our membership is robust at about 450 but our active nucleus of volunteers continues to dwindle, down to New Standards about 60-70. Last year we instituted a volunteer incentive program in which volunteers for three or more club races in 2011 were eligible for one of six prizes, including round-trip airfare to any U.S. destination. The NYC Marathon 8 program, which we‘ll continue, provided a boost to our volunteer base but we are still in great need of committed, dedicated individuals to help us maintain the high professional standard that has become an RRR trademark. Contact me ([email protected]) or any of the officers listed on our newly Rockland Alumni 10 remodeled website (www.rocklandroadrunners.org) if you would like to help.

He placed in the top 10 of his age group (60-64) five times, and his age-graded performance ranged from an 71.5 percent to an impressive 76.3 percent. He began competing for the club in Central Park with five races in 2009 and has kept building on his record of accomplishment since. Narcis qualified for the local competitive start area of the New York City Marathon with an excellent 1:37:45 effort at the New York City Half-Marathon, a 7:27 per-mile pace and a 76.3 percent age graded performance. In 2011 RRR races, he finished first in the 60-69 age group at the Bill Fortune 10K in 45:11, took second in the 60-64 division at the South Nyack 10-Miler in 1:19:42, and placed third in the 60-64 at the Turkey Trot 5-Miler in 37:37 (7:32 pace).

George Wodicka Inspiration Award The award is named after George Wodicka, one of the club‘s most influential members, who battled but ultimately succumbed to prostate cancer in 1996. George once ran 13 marathons in a 12-month period but took even greater pride and delight in helping fellow runners achieve their goals by fueling their enthusiasm with his can-do spirit and motivational firepower. The award is presented to a club member who exemplifies the qualities that inspire and motivate those around them to keep running, and persevere against all odds.

  • Maree in Major U S__And World Pub Sorted
    Page 1 1 of 540 DOCUMENTS USA TODAY October 4, 1991, Friday, FINAL EDITION Maree: A hand for homeland BYLINE: Dick Patrick SECTION: SPORTS; Pg. 2C LENGTH: 178 words Sydney Maree, who became a U.S. citizen in 1984, always wanted to help his home country of South Africa. Now, thanks to involvement in two public relations projects, the two-time Olympian and holder of U.S. records in the 1,500 and 5,000 meters thinks he has found vehicles for future contributions. ''South Africa has never needed help more,'' says Maree, 35, who grew up near Pretoria. ''Someone has to take re- sponsibility for the youth.'' Next week, Maree tours California middle and high schools for Shoot For Success, an essay contest and self-help project funded by Fujitsu America. Maree is also a spokesman for the Olympic Job Opportunity Program, which places athletes in jobs allowing them to train, as well as establish non- athletic careers. In South Africa, he says, too many black athletes are restricted to min- ing.
