BEST WISHES FOR A SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL EVENT... ... to all Gators, Jr. Gators, and Gator Tots starting and finishing this weekend! The event of the weekend is offered by our club sponsor, Scoogie Events and Scoogie Snyder! We will also be participating in Saturday's Spring Valley YMCA "Healthy Kids Day" on Saturday between 10am-1pm! We are planning for a mini-duathlon activity that will include two short runs with an opportunity for kids to use the Y's youth spin bikes in between. If you are not participating in the Kids Rock Duathlon, we encourage you to participate in Healthy Kids Day... Note that registration is required for one of 3 time slots... 10am-11am, 11am-Noon, or Noon-1pm...

Also, congratulations to Andrew Slysh on last weekend's C&O Canal 100... Due to freezing rain overnight, Andrew was not able to reach his goal of 100 miles, but he did complete an amazing 68 miles... in other words, he did 2 marathons + a half marathon + a 5K... Way to go Andrew! Andrew is already considering another attempt at 100 later this summer or early fall. Here's what we have in store for this weekend... Saturday, May 1: • SPONSOR EVENT: Peace Valley Duathlon (Doylestown, PA): Club sponsor Scoogie Events is offering this very popular and sold out event in Peace Valley Park. It includes a short course (2 mi run/5.5 mi bike/2 mi run) and a long course (5k run/11 mi bike/5k run). Gators participating include Brian Kozera and David Stone! • SPONSOR EVENT: Kids Rock Duathlon (Doylestown, PA): A kids race is also included with 3 age groups including 6-9, 10-12 (both will complete a 1/2 mi run/1.5 mi bike/1/2 mi run), and 13-15 (1 mi run/3 mi bike/1 mi run).
