Welcome to the MatSu Running Club! The MatSu Running Club is a non-profit organization that helps its members meet personal goals while increasing the joy and satisfaction of running. Here is your Monthly Training Plan for July:
This Week's Trail Run: The trail run this week is Settler's Bay Coastal Trails.
As always, feel free to contact one of us if you have questions. Coach Rhonda ~ 355-6258 (coachknopp@yahoo.com) Coach Norm ~ 355-2174 (coachrousey@hotmail.com) | To our Members, We are fast approaching what would be the end of our season. I first want to say thank you to all of you who have continued to support the club even in this off year. Our club would simply not exist without members like you! Next, another huge thanks to our board members and coaches who have had some incredibly hard decisions to make this year and who have helped us adapt things into an online format to keep our members out there running. The end of the season calls for a change in board members as many of them have reached the end of their term. This year we are losing 5 board members and will need to have those positions filled by September. If you have any interest in being on our board, we would love to hear from you! We will have some exciting new things in store as we make a plan for a comeback season next year and we want your ideas and your enthusiasm for the club to be put to good use! Please email a photo and brief bio to matsurunningclub@gmail.com if you are interested or if you have any questions! Thank you, Heidi Quinn MSRC President

A Few Reminders
- During April, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at Colony High School, please meet at the faculty parking lot rather than the track due to soccer games on the fields.
- Remember to bring a watch, preferably digital, though doesn't need to be fancy.
- April can still be chilly and windy, make sure to dress in layers with hat, gloves, jacket and pants.
- Check Coaches Corner for tips on this week's run!
* Due to our club's limited operating budget we impose a 3.5% surcharge on credit card payments that is not greater than our cost of acceptance. All registrations must be completed online. Payments may be made online with a credit card or in person to our treasurer with personal check or cash. Please see a Board member if you have difficulty registering. We're here to help!
