UPDATED "WHO'S IN?" 2021 ATHLETE EVENT CALENDAR!
Your input requested, particularly for "5KO" (March 13) and "Gatorthon"
(April 11)!
Attached is the current version of our 2021 "Who's In?" athlete event
calendar. It includes all input received to date. We're currently sitting
at 161 planned events, so lots of room to grow. As the COVID situation
improves with decreasing case numbers and increasing vaccinations, I expect
that our numbers will also increase.
We do have some key events taking place over the next couple of months, so
please let us know asap if you plan to participate in any future events,
but particularly the following taking place in March and April so that we
can add you to the calendar thereby guaranteeing that you will receive the
necessary amount of Good Gator vibes in advance of your event, which are
unscientifically proven to produce fantastic results, sometimes including a
PR and/or podium finish!
Note that the calendar includes a custom column for each of you (and if
your name is missing, we'll add it as soon as you report in with an
event). You can filter it to see just your events. There are also links
to each event site. And there are also some keys at the top to help
explain some of the codes.
Also, the calendar includes two tabs... One displaying events in list
format and the other in block calendar format (and the block format
includes other club activities)... Be sure to check out both!
Key upcoming events:
• Saturday 3/13: 5KO... Help us celebrate Kristen Oswald's birthday by
running a virtual 5K (or join some of us in person in a COVID-safe socially
distant way at the Reynolds Dog Park)! We currently have 18 Gators on the
start list including Jill, Jason, Kerri, Jon Crosby, Sara, Angela, Susan,
Keith, Cindy, Sheri, Diane, Don Mack, Tiff, Chris Reiter, Lynn, Gina,
Logan, and Joyce. Is your name missing? More details coming from Tiff
Pfluger soon!
• Saturday 3/13 - Sunday 3/14: Scoogie Events' "Shake Your Shamrock" 8K,
5K, Little Leprechaun Run, and Pot O' Gold Walk (Peddler's Village,
Lahaska, PA)!... Saturday is sold out, but there are still openings if you
register quick (and take advantage of our Gators discount code)! So far we
have Renee on the start list... Who else will be shaking their shamrock?
• Sunday 4/11: Gatorthon! This is the official announcement that Gatorthon
will take place on this date! As usual, we'll run relay marathons and
raise funds for the Spring Valley YMCA's Annual Campaign... Not as usual,
we'll mostly do this an an outdoor event! You can form your own team or we
can place you with other runners. We can get the details later... At this
time we just want to know... Who wants to run in this year's event?
• Friday 4/16 - Saturday 4/17: DelMo Sports' "Mudhen Brewing Co. Race
Series"! This event includes a Friday night "IPA 5K" and Saturday 5 mile
and 10 mile options! Plus all Gators are eligible for a discount using
code "SVGATORS2021"! So far Sheri is on the start list and I'm giving it
serious consideration (and I understand that past Gator Maureen Pinkerton
will also be there)... Anyone else planning to participate?
• Saturday 4/24: Steelman Racing's "Rock the Nock Run Fest" (Lake
Nockamixon)... Our first chance to participate in an event at Lake
Nockamixon this early in the season! You can run the 5K, 10K, or half

"GATORSRULE2021"! I may be joining Maureen Hoffman... Anyone else want to
get in on the fun?
