A glimpse on this weekend. I’m especially hot on getting the USA Marathon Road Relay back into relevancy. The event was last held in 2007.

The mission of the Club Council is to enhance and expand opportunities for USATF open level, club-based team competition in track & field, cross country, long distance running, and race walking. The Club Council seeks to do this by promoting the club system of elite athlete development fostered by the creation of Association-based Elite Development Clubs in every major metropolitan area of the United States. The Council is an advocate and information resource for creating new clubs and improving existing ones and acts to create, select, and oversee events to serve as USATF National Club Championships in every discipline of our sport. The USATF Club Council strives to take a leadership role in popularizing the post-collegiate, open level of our sport by promoting club-oriented events that present entertaining, fast-paced competition that will attract spectators, media coverage and sponsors.

- The Marathon Road Relay Championships deserve to be back on our Club Champs calendar. I took a Men’s Team and Women’s Team of Good Mates to Denver in 2006 and 2007. In ’06 our ladies came away with a solid 4th overall and nice little payday. Legs were 10K, 5K, 10K, 5K, 12K. Suzanne ran the lead off leg on a terribly sprained ankle, at altitude, fast. Ah, the Good Old Days, where have all the studettes gone?.
