Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers September 2015 Dear Lake Grapevine, With the receding flood waters, our East course is now completely open, and the West course is nearly there. The section near the 3/4 mile mark is now above water, and the part at Kimball and Lakeridge near the usual second water stop is getting closer every week. Of course that means the entire race course is now open, in plenty of time for LGRAW's 16th Annual Double Trouble on Saturday, October 24, 2015. We have now confirmed that Grapevine Craft Brewery will be serving beer after the race and providing 5K and 10K finishers with a commemorative glass. We have also partnered with Your Sporting Image to provide all participants with free downloads of their race photos. Of course we will need lots of volunteers to support the race. Many of these volunteer positions are available even to people who are running or walking the race. Whether you compete, volunteer, or both, don't miss it! As the roads have cleared, so have the trails on the West course. They are nearly 100% above water now. The Wednesday and Friday trail runs will now resume, starting at 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. Come out and enjoy a nice change of pace. There are plenty of events coming up this month, including the RAW Luau on Saturday, September 5th. Come out and enjoy food, beer, and drinks! The event is family friendly, so bring the whole crew along. Tuesday, September 15th will be our club's first "Third Tuesday of the Month Social Run," in conjunction with Grapevine Craft Brewery. Enjoy a run with the group, and hang out afterwards and relax in the taproom or beer garden. And don't forget RRCA's Run@Work Day and Run@School Day on Friday, September 18th. We will be hosting an event at the clubhouse for anyone who is retired, works at home, or just wants an excuse to go out. Details on all of these events are below. Of course fall racing season will be here before we know it. That means we will have lots of people putting in extra training miles for marathons and half marathons. There are often groups starting 30 minutes, one hour, and sometimes up to two hours before the regular 7 a.m. start time on the weekends. Feel free to put your own group together, or just ask, if you can tag along with others who show up. We want to extend a warm welcome to all of the new folks who have joined the club over the past few months. We're so happy to have you! See you at the lake! Chris Morris, LGRAW President
