including a few reminders. The spring marathon
and half-marathon training program will begin in
early January. Watch your email for more information

of spots in each program.

following categories: male/female runner of the
year, male/female master runner of the year, most
improved runner(s), 110% effort, new runner, and
ultra runner. You can complete the form in this
newsletter, or watch the website for the online

This is my last letter as club president.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my 4-year term as
president. As I reflect back on my term I am
amazed at all that was accomplished through the
Board of Directors, Race Directors, Coordinators,
volunteers, and club members. During my term
the club has held several Speaker Series events
(anyone interested in coordinator for 2011?); the
race circuit was started and is now in it’s fourth
year; the spring marathon/half-marathon training
has been greatly improved; a bus trip to the

IN PASSING
Indianapolis Marathon was organized; the Build a
Better Second Wind program was re-organized to
reward more members for volunteering and participating
in club events; the beginning women’s
running group was started and has grown tremendously;
new finish line equipment was purchased,
and a structure was put in place for other races to
ask SWRC to provide volunteers and finish line
computerized results; the website was re-designed;
and the Clinton Trail run was started. The Board
of Directors, Race Directors, and Coordinators
have been outstanding in making all these things
happen and I thank them all for their support. I’m
looking forward to seeing how the club improves
even more with the new leadership.
I would like to say thank-you to all members
who supported me as president.
Happy running,
Kelly Bails
