SOME STUFF OFF OF ME HEAD  The Dartmouth Education Foundation is looking to help the Kids out.  On June 14th they are having a fun walk at the Dartmouth Middle School.  It's a 2.8 mile walk with raffle, refreshments, and entertainment.   Info and sign up are on the Home and Calendar page. 

If you are looking for hard copy applications to the races that we time, visit Days Sports in Fairhaven. 

Here's something to look forward to in the fall.  Plans are in the works to have a 5K Run on October 5th using the 5K loop in the south end of New Bedford.  What's making this interesting is the who.  Remember Jay and Mark Kruger from the Biggest Losers  Well Jay's wife is behind this one.  More coming up as it develops.

The JB EEEEracers will be back again this year, I'm trying to figure out how to allot for age.  Anyone got any ideas? 

The crew and I will be at the Discover Assonet 5K RR for the first time this year.  So we will be looking for the EEEEracers to show up. 

You got to do the Wareham Y 5K.  You will never run a more picture perfect course.  However you won't see it, because it is on tough 5K.  This is a figure of 8 out and back loop course up hill both ways.

Thanks to the good people of LOCO.  Sent me some gift certificates for the Acushnet Road Race.  You will have to be entered to even have a chance at one. 

Dartmouth Parks Department Triathlon:   Date is set for August 10th for the 14th Annual.  Here's the application.  Note that the post entry day of race fee's have increased by $5.00 while the pre-entry remains the same.   GO-GET-APP   On Line sign is now available. 

FAIRHAVEN FATHER'S DAY ROAD RACE.   Race director Alan Days is at it again.  In his quest to give back to runners, and encourage youngsters to run, he has lowered the entry fee for those kids 12 and under to $5.00.  Did he stop there?  Of course not!   According to Al those 70 and over have paid enough.  So their entry fee is free.  Got it?  FREE!!!.  The 70 plus crowd will have to entry using mail in apps. 

Feast of the Blessed Sacrament  5K  Portuguese Feast organizers have heard your call for an earlier start time.  They have moved it to 10AM.  All else remains the same.  Remember not to eat for three days prior to this race as you will be fed and hydrated. 

The Run For Dave: Calling all Law Enforcement Officers, and runners who are tired of the old 5K routine.  There's a new race on the block on May 24th.  The race committee has been working over a year to make sure that this is a must on your racing calendar.  Officer David Mello had an unfortunate accident that ended his career as a Dartmouth Police Officer.  He now needs a little help, and the committee has put together this first annual race to make sure that he gets some.  The course is a a 5.3 mile loop through beautiful South Dartmouth, MA.  It will start and finish at the new Dartmouth High School.  More info
