 Girls on the Run Looking for Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 Sponsors
Business and personal sponsorships of Girls on the Run of Springfield are a critical factor in our success.  These sponsorships fund t-shirts and our Final Event Celebrations.  The funds also contribute to direct program costs such as lesson materials and coaches’ curricula.  Would you be interested in being a sponsor or know someone who would be?  The support would be very appreciated.  Following is information regarding our local program and the sponsorship opportunity.

Thank you for your interest and support.

 Updated Points Series Standings
Thanks for your patience while we get the points updated! 2008 Points

 Attention All Abe's Army Finishers

Let's place some bets to see who can win the Triple Crown. Lets start with some Triple Crown History.

 

The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing consists of three races for three-year-old thoroughbred horses. In the United States, the Triple Crown consists of the:

  • Kentucky Derby, run over 1 and 1/4 miles (2.01 km) at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
  • Preakness Stakes, run over 1 and 3/16 miles (1.91 km) at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.
  • Belmont Stakes, run over 1 and 1/2 miles (2.41 km) at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.

The Triple Crown starts with The Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday of May. The Preakness follows two weeks later. The Belmont Stakes is three weeks after The Preakness in early June.  Winning all three of these thoroughbred horse races is considered the greatest accomplishment of a thoroughbred racehorse.

The SRRC is now having its own Triple Crown for our new Abe's Army Runners!

The rules are simple:

1) You must be a NEW Abe's Army Corporal, Private, or Sergeant. 

2) You must have completed Abe's Amble (10K/6.2 miles). 

3) You must complete the Shoreline Classic (15K/9.3 miles) and be running it for the first time. 

4) You must complete the Frostbite Classic (10 miles) and be running it for the first time.

After completing all three races, individual names will be place in a drawing for multiple grand prize winnings.  I will post the content of the winnings as I secure donations. 

All you need to do is let me know that you are completing, hope to complete or have completed the above mentioned races.  Drawing will be held in December.  You have to notify me by Frostbite but I prefer to know sooner if possible.  I can be reached at dahlquist2000@yahoo.com. See you at the races, Holly Dahlquist
