Introducing the Triple Crown.

Lets start with some Triple Crown History:

The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing consists of three races over six weeks for three-year-old thoroughbred horses. In the United States, the Triple Crown consists of the:

-Kentucky Derby, run over 1 and 1/4 miles (2.01 km) at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

-Preakness Stakes, run over 1 and 3/16 miles (1.91 km) at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.

-Belmont Stakes, run over 1 and 1/2 miles (2.41 km) at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.

The Triple Crown starts with The Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday of May. The Preakness follows two weeks later. The Belmont Stakes is three weeks after The Preakness in early June. Winning all three of these thoroughbred horse races is considered the greatest accomplishment of a thoroughbred racehorse.

The SRRC is now having its own Triple Crown for our new Abe's Army Runners!

The rules are simple...

1) You must be a NEW Abe's Army Corporal, Private, or Sergeant.

2) You must have completed Abe's Amble (10K/6.2 miles).

3) You must complete the Shoreline Classic (15K/9.3 miles) and be running it for the first time.

4) You must complete the Frostbite Classic (10 miles) and be running it for the first time.

After completing all three races, individual names will be place in a drawing for multiple grand prize winnings. I will post the content of the winnings as I secure donations.


All you need to do is let me know that you are completing, hope to complete or have completed the above mentioned races. Drawing will be held in December. You have to notify me by Frostbite but I prefer to know sooner if possible. I can be reached at dahlquist2000@yahoo.com.
See you at the races,
