Announcements - Week of August 5

Etiquette in the Cemetery - We have received a politely worded complaint about runners in the cemetery not yielding the right of way to motorists, running 3 or 4 abreast and taking up more than one lane. Please remember to run single file on the left side (against traffic). In the area near Lincoln's Tomb, keep the noise level down. Many of the visitors are from out of town and don't know about Abe's Army. Let's leave them with a positive impression.

Safety on the Road - If a car is approaching, call out "Car Back" or "Car Front" and get out of the way. Move to the side of the road and run single file until the car has passed. This is especially important when we have groups of runners going both directions.

Use of the Fairgrounds
Tuesday, August 7 - We meet at Lincoln Park, not the Fairgrounds.
Saturday, August 4 - This will be the last opportunity to run the Abe's Amble course in its entirety due to the State Fair.

Membership in Springfield Road Runners Club - All memberships expire on December 31st, regardless of when the member joined the club. You will have the opportunity to renew your membership at that time.

Parade Run - Consider running this fun, fast race! Applications are available for download on www.srrc.net.

Saturday Social - Floyd's Thirst Parlor, 6-9 p.m., Saturday August 4. Slip into the back room for some refreshments, pizza and fellowship.
