We had a great time last night at our All-comer Track races. Thank you to Immanuel Lutheran also participating. We will do a couple more in May. Reminder that there is no practice tonight (Wed 4/23) due to Rotolo hosting a track meet. Please contact me if you are interested in helping out with the Great Western Half Marathon water station on Sunday May 4 morning 7:15am to 9:15am. I would like to get people lined-up asap. Also there is a chance to volunteer to clean-up the trails near the Windmill this Sunday (4/27) 9-10am. If you have any questions,

There are two opportunities to volunteer at a Fox River Trail Runners (FRTR) event coming up. FRTR is a group that supports the Accelerators in terms of providing storage space for equipment, awards for our home cross country meet in October, rental of a tent at cross country nationals, as well as a college scholarship. Please consider volunteering.![]()

Sunday May 4 as a crew operating a water station at the FRTR Great Western Marathon and 10K. We will need 12-18 people to setup, handout drinks to runners and clean-up (7:00-9:30am). Please contact Coach Keith if you have questions and/or are interested. Workers will get a volunteer shirt. Please contact Coach Keith early so that we can make sure that we have enough people to do the water station.![]()
