Reports/ Recaps
Rock Canyon Half Marathon. SCR hired Larry Lucero from Ft. Collins to
perform timing. This worked well for the most part, and Paul LaBar was
able to download Larry's data into the Race Director Software owned by
the club.

about the race in conjunction with a mass mailing containing banquet information

about the banquet along with a registration form. On-line registration

ground running" with the new run - the Lone Tree Predict on January 17th.
Spring Runoff: Terry Carthart, March 7th 2009
Long sleeved tech shirts will be given. There was some discussion about changing the time of the Toddler's and Funner to be a Runner races, but the entry forms were scheduled to be printed the morning following the meeting, so a time change may or may not take place this year. 1,400 entry forms will be send to Pikes Peak Road Runners. We will have stuffing of packets a few days prior to the race. Terry will call Troy Davenport to see if he will assist in the Funner to be a Runner.
Youth Runner Proposal: Kim Arline / Paul LaBar
The goal is to encourage young runners to participate. One way to do so
is to provide discounts for young runners. One idea is for SCR to encourage
a discount of $10 from entry fees With this kind of discount, these participants
would not get race shirts. Perhaps there could be a youth runner series,
and participants can get a series shirt by participating in a certain
number of races. Some details need to be worked out. In order to work,
the youth runner series must not cause extra work for race directors.
Kim and Paul and going to fine tune a proposal.

New Stuff/Old StuffParks & Rec Fee Negotiations: Jeff Arnold
The Parks Department has initiated a fee of $130 for the use of the pavilion. SCR uses the pavilion for the Valentines Twosome, the WDF, the Atalanta, and the Rock Canyon. half marathon run. All are small races except for the Rock Canyon. Other runs (such as the Panther run use the pavilion, but these are SCR assisted events and these groups will have to work with Parks & Rec on an individual basis. Jeff chatted with Creighton Wright of Pueblo Parks & Recreation, and in exchange for some advertisement on the part of SCR, the fee is waived for the four SCR races. A discussion followed about the large crowd that uses the pavilion for the Rock Canyon, the bathroom use, and the filling of the trash dumpsters. Even though we clean up, the board felt it appropriate to pay to help offset the cost of labor involved.
Race Calendar:
Dave Diaz Dave passed around a paper containing race information for
all races scheduled in the 2010 SCR Predict Series.
Equipment Repair / Replacement: Paul Paul is going to look into the purchase
of a projector. They can be rented, but the rental fee is fairly high.
It will be more economical to buy one so we can use it for the banquet.
