What  a great turnout we had on for the fun run event this past Sunday.  The weather held out and was actually warm for a February day.  Approximately 50 runners (and 1 dog) ran various distances along the C&D Canal and then ended up at Schaefer's Canal House for food, friendship and drinks.

There is a great event scheduled for 10/15/2016.  It is the Run for the Buds 1k/5k/10k.  This is a very fun event in its 5th year.  The event is run on courses in and around Rockford Park, Wilmington.  The festivities include a band and some great awards for the age winners.  One other great perk is there is a Beer Garten (for those over 21)!

The organizers of the event have graciously offered the members of MAC a very generous 50% discount off of race registration.  The registration discount code is "MACRUNNING" and can be used when registering online at www.runforthebuds.com.  Please take some time and check out their website for event details.

*NOTE
This code doesn't expire until online registration closes but registration costs increase after Labor Day. 

Hey Runners.

Flashback to 1986 with the classic film The Labyrinth!  Bring your friends and family for a little non-running fun for a good cause!

What: The Labyrinth (rated PG)

Starring: David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly

When: Sunday, February 28

Time: Showings at 11 am or 1:20 pm

Cost: Only $5 per ticket

Purchase Tickets At: https://www.westownmovies.com/labyrinth-movie/

Benefits: The Smyrna/Clayton July 4th Association

Westown Movies in Middletown hosts Classic Movies for non-profit charities. The SCRC has organized one for our friends at the Smyrna/Clayton July 4th Association. Once 60 tickets are sold, the profiting begins. I'm hoping we can top that number with SCRC peeps!

All proceeds will go to the July 4th Association's Independence Day festivities, including the fireworks display and parade which will take place in Clayton this year.

If you've never been to Westown, you are in for a treat!  Tickets can be bought in advance through the link above-there are NO service fees.  You can also buy them at the door.

Even if you can't attend, consider buying a ticket as a donation! If we can make this event a success, we will consider doing others for the Presents for Robbie group and Food Pantry at Asbury Church.

Run.
