Welcome to the 2009 Abe's Army~

We are very excited to get the 2009 Abe's Army underway in just a few short weeks! Always remember to check the blog frequently as this is the place to look for information and to have any questions answered.

~Abe's Army membership has reached a record level of 525 registrants! (Our maximum number has always been 400)! This will be quite a group! Over 85 dedicated leaders will be there to share this wonderful accomplishment with you.

~SRRC memberships tops 1,300 this year - WOW! That really says a lot about the commitment of the Springfield community to the sport of running and to the social and health aspects of belonging to such a wonderful group!

~If you are at the opening day of the Farmer's Market tomorrow (May 16th) look for the Springfield Road Runners Club/Springfield Bike Club/ St. John's AthletiCare booth from 8-10am. Come and meet Barb Bonansinga, the Club's President and let us welcome you.

We are excited for another great year in the ARMY - remember, to stay tuned for updated information on the Abe's Army blog.

I am not able to come to the orientation because of a prior commitment. I have been in the army before. Is there another time I can pick up my packet of stuff?

Packets will be available for pick up at Lincoln Park and at the Fairgrounds on opening night. We understand that not everyone will be able to attend the orientation on May 28th.
