Anne Carroll & Western States 100

This year Anne Carroll, PBRR Treasurer and long-time endurance athlete will be fulfilling a dream – she is competing in the Western States 100 Endurance Run. Contested each year since 1984, Anne is one of only 369 runners starting her 100 mile journey this Saturday morning at 8:00 am EDT. Tradition says the starting field will always number 369 runners, the same number as the inaugural year event.

Anne has run many marathons, competed in Iron distance triathlons and now has one of the world’s premier endurance events ahead this weekend. Qualifying for Western States is a science in itself. An elite athlete can win or place high in a select few of ultra running’s other luxe races to win a “Golden Ticket.” For the masses, the qualifying amounts to running in races a minimum of 100 miles long to gather Western States lottery tickets. These lottery tickets are entered into an annual drawing to select athletes for the race. Every time you enter the lottery and don’t get in, you will have additional tickets in the lottery the next time you enter. For example: If you don’t get in two times, you will have four tickets when you enter the third year, eight tickets, the fourth year, 16 the fifth year, 32 the sixth year, etc. And you thought the Boston Marathon BQ process and “buffer times” were crazy!

We encourage PBRRs and your family and friends to follow the event and track Anne’s progress. Here is a link to the tracking:

Good luck to our local legend in this most prestigious of running events! 😀

💦 PBRR folks – It’s time again! 💦

Each year we are the run course water stop volunteers at the TurtleMan Triathlon. The race is this Saturday, June 21st. We meet and serve on-course hydration to the Sprint and Super-Sprint runners.

The parking is easy, we meet at the corner of A1-A and Jupiter Beach Road. Arrive before Jupiter Police closes the road for the runners – late arrivals please come in from the North on A1A Beach Rd (Think Guanabana’s and U-Tiki area)

2025 Member Gift Shirts

If you’ve been along with us for the last few years, then you know we have a decorated new short sleeve shirt for all of our current members! The 2025 edition harkens back to a very popular shirt from years ago featuring the PBRR “Hibiscus” logo on the front and the slogan “The Social Club With A Running Problem” on the back of the shirt.

Keira D’Amato spends a morning with PBRR

We enjoyed a visit from multiple American record holder Keira D’Amato this past weekend. She wanted to continue her Boston Marathon training while visiting friends in our area, and she chose the right group to join in with! Keira was happy to come to our Juno Beach Saturday run for her 20+ mile workout. A few of our runners joined in for as many miles as they could keep pace. It was enlightening and fun to see a top caliber athlete run and fuel. Keira was super personable, she shared great stories about the physio testing she has access to as a Nike sponsored athlete, tales about her teammates and some of her own best running memories.

We had a nice welcoming committee at Dunkin Donuts upon Keira’s return. She took as much time as everyone wanted to pose for photos and answer questions. This was a highlight for many in our group that might have only known of her and her accomplishments via social media or watching live coverage of big races. She liked our oceanfront route and the sights alongs the way, I would not be surprised to see Keira return to our area for more runs and more fun!

Hopefully, with a few days to go you’re registered to run the 25th Anniversary Classics By The Sea event. Held each year in Jupiter’s Carlin Park, this race allows runners to race on the amazing State Route A1A road, alongside the Atlantic Ocean.

Everything from our annual sea-themed long sleeve tech shirts to the fast course has become a favorite for locals and visitors. The race was often held prior to the Christmas holiday break, where runners competed wearing Santa hats and jingle bells. The race then became a first event of the New Year, seeing folks make good on fitness resolutions. Out of town guests have always loved the park, basically flat course and water views. Locals delight in being able to race against their family and friends to secure “bragging rights” for another year. It’s a special event for all involved.

If you’re coming out to run with us, spectate or volunteer at this year’s run, remember to arrive early. Although the 10k begins at 7:30 am and 5k at 7:40 am, the road will close considerably earlier than that. This is due to the Kid’s 1 Mile event beginning at 7:10 am. Jupiter Police will make sure you have clear roads to run on by closing A1A in front of Carlin Park early. This means that if you want to park at Carlin Park on either side of the road, we suggest you arrive around 6:30 am. The alternative once JPD closes the road is to park at Maltz Theater or the stores and lots on Indiantown Road leading back west to Publix. There are advantages to getting up early on race day!

Let’s make the 2025 Classics By The Sea a memorable and safe event – See you Saturday morning!

Beginning Monday, September 9th, the track at Jupiter High School will be temporarily closed. Repairs are being made to the stadium lighting. We will make note of reopening for runners and walkers here, on our GROUP RUNS weekly schedule page, and our social media accounts.
