Resolution Classic 5K

Last year the Tri-Dawgs put this race on and I would like to continue the tradition. But of course, I need help from the club members. The date will be Wednesday January 1, 2014 and I am moving the time up to 10:00 AM. (If there is enough interest we could have a swim practice before the race.) I am cutting some things out this year such as the silent auction and the random prizes. The Tri-Dawgs will be the beneficiaries of any proceeds. 

I need volunteers for the following:

Bag stuffers and set up race day

Procuring pre and post race food and drink

Race day registration

Course volunteers

Please contact Tricia Reilly at triciareilly322@gmail.com  if you are able to help out. I will take care of promoting the race, timing, pre-race registrations, police, EMS, insurance, prizes, amenities etc. If you are unable to help or run race day, please do your best to get the word out to friends and family.

Care2Tri

Hi, my name is Greg Simony and I founded Care2Tri 5 years ago.  We race in triathlons and running races, while pulling and pushing individuals confined to wheelchairs through the race with us in adaptive equipment.   Our website is care2tri.org. Please take a look and you can see how we perform in races.

To make a bigger impact we are currently setting up chapters of Care2Tri across the country and I am wondering if you could get the word out and see if there may be anyone in your triathlon club who may be interested in heading the chapter.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks,

Greg Simony

I suspect we will also have an indoor tailgate party following the race.

Ironman Club Championships

 Our group's entry into the proper team division (I, II, III, IV, V) for the Ironman Club Challenge is dependent upon the number of individuals planning to enter and/or volunteer as a Tri-Dawg at any official Ironman sponsored event (140.6, 70.3, 5150) for 2014. If you are uncertain but suspect you may race and/or volunteer at a 2014 IM event, please let me know that too so I can anticipate the correct team division for that year as well. 
     If the above applies to you, please email me at ewolfc@aol.com by Friday, Nov. 22nd with your name so that I may submit a proper head count to the Ironman Club Challenge organizers.  Your prompt response is greatly appreciated as the 2014 Ironman race season has already begun and our failure to submit the proper numbers in a timely manner may force us into the incorrect grouping. 
     Thank you.
