Hey Tamalpans, we still need volunteers for the Marin Memorial Day Races! (Monday, May 27) This is the Tamalpa Running Club's biggest fund raiser and a great event. We need you to help! Please contact Race Director Dave Ripp (ASAP) at info@marinraces.com or (415) 686-0703. Thanks!
Results from the fifth TCRS of 2013 are here. Thanks go out to Mike Holland for laying out the flour in a mostly understandable pattern, and to the large start-/finish-line group for all or your talent and contributions.
Our first course in 2013 with serious hills. Results from the fourth TCRS of 2013 are here. Thanks to the TCRS team for a great event, to Frank for the awards, to Don Lindsey, Scott Schneider, and Karen Steele for recording the sticks with good cheer, and to Joaquin and Bill for the food and drink.
Another twisty-turny course, with lots of runners racing thru the tall weeds and over the small bumps, but Tamalpa runners are getting better at keeping a sharp eye out for white arrows; this months's lost runner count was lower than that of February. Results from the third TCRS of 2013 are here. Thanks to the management team for another great event.
We had a few teams travel way up to Redding for the John Frank 10-mile. Race reports say it was a strong head-wind heading down the canyon on the return leg. Nevertheless, way to go Tamalpa. Results from Frank include several non-Tamalpan runners that you might know. Full results including team scores may be found here.

Hey, ever wonder what Frank is doing behind the walls of San Quentin?
Or watch the video on Flotrack at San Quentin.

Jack and Gayle did it again; they rounded up stray Tamalpans from all over the county and got them to Fairfax for their first run of the new year.
Click the above image for the super-sized picture. Many of the same faces from last year, plus or minus a few. May all of your runs in 2013 be PR's.
