The Greater New Bedford Track Club is a community-based organization that promotes fellowship through running and group activites throughout the SouthCoast. The GNBTC promotes running at all levels and abilities. Runners and walkers are always welcomed.
The GNBTC is in desperate need of volunteers to help update our website. No knowledge of html is required, and we are happy to train or assist anyone willing to help. For more information, email Kristina at treasurer@rungnbtc.com.
Next Member Meeting: Tuesday, June 11th at 6pm at the New Bedford Downtown Library meeting room.

Pasta Run
Don't forget our club's annual Pasta Run and meal at Elizabeth's Restaurant, 1 Middle Street, Fairhaven. Gail Isaksen, out gracious hostess, always prepares a meal to delight any runner's palate. We begin our run over the Fairhaven Road Race course at 5:30 p.m. sharp. The club will supply water along the route. "Carbos" will be served after the completion of the trial run. Gail would appreciate some sort of head count, so that she may plan the meal accordingly. If you plan to attend, please email Leo. This is one our club's "top shelf" events. Try not to miss this one! Hope to see all of you on the evening of Monday, June 10. Don't forget to bring your running shoes and work your way to a craving appetite. I've already called and emailed to reserve my plate. But Mama Mia! Why haven't you? - LCM
