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
The Pasta Run is a great place to renew your membership if you haven't already done so by then. Remember, to be eligible for the Grand Prix, you must renew by June 1st.
