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.

We proudly awarded a $2000 grant to the Track and Field program of John I. Leonard High School in Greenacres (WPB) Florida. Joh
n I. Leonard is a Title 1 School, They will use this grant money to provide uniforms and supplies to their cross country and track and field athletes. Coach Kristy Kirk and some of her students accept the award as presented by Palm Beach Roadrunner Board Members Madeleine Ely and Dave Masterson.

We are happy to announce that The Education Foundation of Palm Beach’s Red Apple Supplies Program is the charity beneficiary for our 2020 Classics By The Sea race.

The mission of Red Apple Supplies Program is to serve the educational and creative needs of children in Palm Beach County’s public schools by providing a means to transfer donated school supplies from businesses, organizations, and individuals free to teachers for use in classrooms throughout the school year.

We ask that you please bring school supplies to packet pickup and/or on race day.

Suggested items for donation:

The students need these basic school supplies all year long, not just in August for traditional “Back To School.” Please bring items to race morning or packet pickup on Friday afternoon. Let’s show our community how our Palm Beach Roadrunners running community gives back!

Packet pickup will be on Friday, January 10th from 3 pm – 6 pm at:

Tri Bike Run
13975 US-1
Juno Beach, FL 33408

Runners can pickup their race shirts and runner bibs and be best prepared for Saturday’s race. Otherwise, we advise you to arrive early (5:45 am – 6:00 am) on race day at Carlin Park to collect your pre race packet. You can pickup another family member or athlete’s goodies with a copy of their driver license. Shirt size substitutions cannot be made as we have ordered shirts based on what folks have indicated at the time of registration.

This race will be a great success for the 22nd year – take some stress off your plate by visiting us at packet pickup FRIDAY Jan 10th at Tri Bike Run!

Now in its second year, the Burger & Beer 5k brings a fun event to a most popular park and run course in our area – the WPB/Dreher Park Zoo. Each participant gets a runner shirt, finisher medal, a tasty hamburger with chips, and beer provided by Steamhorse Brewery! The Presenting Sponsor is Scott Smith Injury Law – big thanks to them.

The route begins in the park on the south side of Summit Blvd and with the help of WPB Police, snakes across into the zoo to wind back around and finish near the Main Pavilion in Dreher Park. We will have a live band cranking out music on your Saturday night to add to the party!

The charity beneficiary is the Palm Beach Roadrunner Scholarship Fund, which each year sends middle and high school age cross country and track athletes to Warrior Running Camp in Central Florida. A portion of each registration goes to the Scholarship fund and you can make donations over and above if you desire. For info and registration please use this link…
