EBAC Running Club
2015 E-mail Clean-up
If you would like to be removed from the email list let me know so I am not bothering
you all year long. I will certainly not hold it against anybody (at least for too long!) I
understand that hobbies and interests change as time goes on.
2015 James Greenleaf 5K – Early May
Since 2013, the James Greenleaf Memorial 5K has served as the season opener and
varsity qualifier for the EBAC Running Club. The official date has yet to be released but
we expect it to be in early May once again. On-line registration is not currently open but
will be $20, and if you wait until race day it’s going to be $25. The first 10 EB men and
women to cross the finish line will be offered a varsity spot, which includes free race
entry to the full season of EB corporate races, which was over a $150 value last year.
It’s time to get training!
