Race planned with proceeds to benefit Joe Newton Scholarship By Dee Longfellow
FOR THE ELMHURST INDEPENDENT
It will likely come as no surprise to anyone that someone has already organized a race in the late Joe Newton’s honor. Last week, the Independent learned that a new 10K has been scheduled for this July, which will benefit the Joe Newton Scholarship Award of Excellence. The race director is Daniel Dziubski, who ran for Mr. Newton from 1998-2001. “I thought it might be a newsworthy story in Elmhurst because of its rich tradition,” he said. “I am excited to get this event off the ground this year.” The race is called the “Naperville 10K Relay benefitting the Joe Newton Scholarship Award of Excellence. It will be held on July 15 at the North Central College stadium in Naperville, with start times at 8 a.m., 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. The concept for the race is a two-person team 10k relay, according to Dziubski. The race will be on the track and teammates will alternate running laps, passing the baton after each lap, for a total of 25 laps (10K). “The idea comes from a classic workout that Mr. Newton gave to his
cross country runners at York every Fall, on his way to 28 state championships,” Dziubski said, “except it was coined ‘the 2-man 10-mile.’ Since most of us are not running 100 miles a week like Mr. Newton’s runners once did, I thought an abbreviated 10K distance would be a bit more appealing!” To register for the race or for more information, visit endureitsports. com/10krelay.
