Hello Athletes!

We have event information for this Saturday’s Classics By The Sea race. Please see below for details about Packet Pickup, Covid race procedures, Education Foundation’s Red Apple Supplies and volunteer opportunities.

RACE DAY PARKING – ARRIVE EARLY!

The road to Carlin Park is the run route for all of the races. This road closes at approximately 6:45 am. If you arrive late or hit the <Snooze> button for that valuable extra 3 minutes, you will be parking at the Jupiter Maltz Theater or Publix on US-1 (a ten minute walk to the race) Arrive early – park on site!

Packet Pickup

Two opportunities to get your race bib and shirt…

1) Friday, Jan 7th from 3pm – 6pm at Bikes Palm Beach
(Southeast corner of Donald Ross Rd & US-1 Juno Beach)

2) On race morning, Saturday, at Carlin Park, Jupiter
(Race site beginning at 6:00am)

Covid Procedures

To keep our outdoor event safe, we will begin each of the three races in a relaxed “flowing format.” This means that athletes competing for the OVERALL Male, Female, Boy & Girl title in each race will be encouraged to start up front. (There are a small percentage of runners in this group) Their time is measured by “gun time,” aka the actual start of the race.

Everyone else is timed by “chip time” meaning the elapsed time of you crossing the START line until you cross the FINISH line. You can begin your 5k or 10k spaced apart in the start corral whenever you’d like after the START line is declared OPEN for your event, 5k or 10k. This race start procedure has proven to be very successful in our Shamrock run and in larger races like this year’s Boston Marathon.

We will suggest repeatedly that runners maintain safe distancing in the corrals until they begin their race. Masks are not required but are recommended for those looking for extra protection in the corral and while after-race areas. Please do not discard masks in the park or on the beautiful ocean road course.

Awards will be given out shortly after the official results are posted at a special area for award distribution.

All post race food and drink items will be pre-packaged and self serve at refreshment and food tables past the finish line.

Red Apple Supplies

We have again partnered with the Education Foundation’s “Red Apple Supplies” team to collect school supplies for underprivileged children right here in Palm Beach County. We encourage runners, families and spectators to bring school supplies to the race Saturday morning as we “restock the shelves” for this worthy cause. Folks from Red Apple Supplies will be on hand at the race to collect supplies, they can also be brought to Friday’s packet pickup at Bikes Palm Beach. Below is a list of suggested items to bring…

Volunteer Opportunities

All events of this nature exist because volunteers from the community lend a hand in the race production. If you’re willing to help, we’ve got a role for you! If you’re a runner taking a break from racing, we’d love your assistance. If you’re a middle or high schooler, these events serve as a  GREAT way to earn community service hours.

Volunteer Information email

We received our largest single donation in club history – $10,000! Partnering with The Sock Drawer, we awarded this sum to the running program at John I. Leonard High School under the direction of Coach Kristy Kirk.

Earmarked for many pieces of equipment and supplies for the Cross Country team and the Track and Field program, this donation will go a very long way in bringing a better running experience for the students at the school.

Coach Kirk has already hosted several events to procure new socks for homeless in our area. This is the mission of The Sock Drawer, a nonprofit run by high schoolers Alex and Aiden Skolnick. More proof that when people and organizations steer their efforts towards the good and positive, amazing things will happen on all sides! We are happy to support John I Leonard High School and proud to work together with the boys from The Sock Drawer!

A nice group enjoying a run,  good friends, eat and drink. The Social Club With A Running Problem!

We received a nice package recently from Girls On The Run,
who participated in our Classics By The Sea 5k event.

This is what YOUR running club does –
We promote, support and encourage youth running in our area!

Girls On The Run Thank You Letter

Did you know that YOUR running club has a group of real race pacers? Yes! 

This past weekend saw the PBRR Pacers running and leading athletes to new PRs and great times at the Game On Race Events “Run Singer Island” Half Marathon. The comments and post race feedback from runners was terrific. They really appreciate the guidance and reliability of completing their event with a pace leader. The PBRR Pacers first participated in the Hutchinson Island Half Marathon last October. Our members did a wonderful job in both events — they include Maria Urso, Nicole Foster, Maureen Flynn, Susan Rawn, Shelley Flowers, Mitch Goldstein, and Madeleine Ely.

We will continue to grow this new part of the club, allowing runners to experience the benefits of pace leaders at our local events. If you have an interest in becoming a PBRR Pacer, please contact Dave at dave@palmbeachroadrunners.com

We have some AWESOME new Headsweats custom Palm Beach Roadrunner visors available for our members and fans to purchase. They are red and blue, with the distinctive “Palm Beach Roadrunners” name also displayed on the rear headband. You’ll love how this visor looks, it makes a great match to several of our new member singlets.

We will have these for sale at packet pickup events, our races, and our Saturday morning long runs in Juno Beach. $20 each…

We wanted to inspire and encourage our runners to look forward to a better year ahead, so this idea was born. Let’s distribute hi-intensity LED safety lights to all of our current members as a start to 2021!

We are not mailing the lights to each member, but you can meet us at our runs, races, and packet pickup events. We have a current list of members, come over and get your Palm Beach Roadrunner blinky light! It’s that easy…

The Palm Beach Roadrunners proudly awarded a $2000 grant to the Track and Field program at Boynton Beach High School. These funds will be earmarked to purchase a high jump foam pit. With this equipment, Boynton Beach H.S. can host track and field events, which in turn allows them to continue to raise money for their running related sports activities! Accepting on behalf of the school were Principal Anthony Lockhart and Jeffrey Evers, Head Coach along with some of the track and field athletes.
