GO EAGLES!!!!!!!
Shiver #3 is Super Bowl Sunday – February 9th . So before going to your favorite bar or hanging out with friends to watch the Eagles in the Super Bowl, join us for the Shiver! Burn off those calories before you hit the big party!!!
If you have never run this race or maybe you haven’t run it for a few years, come out and join us and maybe reconnect with runners you haven’t seen in ages! The race is at Jim Dietrich Park, in Muhlenberg Twp. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m.; both races start at 10:00 a.m.
What makes this race unique is that runners can decide at the end of the 5K loop if
they are going to finish the day with a 5K or do a 2nd loop to complete a 10K. However, we do have a cut-off of 40 minutes to be eligible to start the 2nd loop.
The January 5K had 149 finishers, with 72 runners completing the 10K. 1st male and female finishers in the 5K were Glen Heck (16:13,) and Brittney Miller (20:33); Brendan Shearn (33:20) and Lissa Kutz (44:47) finished as top male/female runners in the 10K.
As always, we thank the volunteers and the runners who came out to support us!!!
Please remember to only complete the registration form ONCE during the series. As we have done in the past, we will have 3 separate areas for registration. We calculate the series results by bib#, so each runner will have the same bib# each month. If a runner completes more than 1 application, he/she will have more than 1 bib#.
(1) Pre-Registration is in the front room, for those runners who have paid for the entire series.
(2) For those runners who are paying for each race, individually, and who ran in December and/or January, registration is in the 2 nd room, at the table marked “Post Registration Single Race Entry.” We have a number with a label with your name. No need to complete a new registration form. If you do, there is the potential of being recognized as a different runner when it comes time to calculate the series results. If any information needs to be changed, just let them know when you get your number; no need to complete a registration form with the changed information.
(3) For those runners who have not registered for the 2024-2025 Shiver, registration is in the 2nd room at the table marked “Post Registration.”
Looking ahead, our 4th race in the series will be held on March 9th. The awards banquet will be at the Temple Fire Co, immediately following the race. It is free to all runners who completed 3 or more races and free for volunteers; there is a minimal charge for everyone else. We are always looking for door-prizes to be given at the awards ceremony. If you own a business, or know someone who owns a business, or you would like to donate something yourself, we would be very grateful for merchandise, gift certificates, gift baskets, or any small item that a runner would
appreciate. Door prizes can be brought to either of the next 2 races or the February Pacer meeting. We plan to send a thank you email to all of our donors, so if you donate or secure an item for us, we would appreciate knowing exactly what was donated and contact information for the donor.
We hope to see more Pacers run the remaining Shiver races. If you choose not to run the race, please consider volunteering. We need volunteers before the race, for parking and registration; during the race – on the road, at the finish line and in the farmhouse; and after the race – for cleanup. If you can help prior to the race, please plan to arrive between 8:00 – 8:15. If you can help with the race itself, please arrive no later than 9:30. To help us with volunteer assignments, we prefer that volunteers contact us prior to race day. If you have not already talked to one of us, please reach out to Georgine via Facebook or Instagram or gmmccool56@comcast.net.
Thank you in advance for your support!
Hope to see you there!!!
