Hello fellow CCAC’ers.

  Here we are in lovely February and we know that can only mean one thing-that many of us are preparing to run in the Hyannis Marathon, 1/2 Marathon or 10k on Sunday February 28th, 2010.

  These are gorgeous but hard races that take their twists and turns through the roads of Hyannis, to the beaches and past some spectacular views. For those who like to run them, these races represent many things; the culmination of a hard fall/winter training schedule, a chance to qualify for Boston (well, maybe for 2011 anyway) or just to prove one’s crazy enough to crank out a race in February on Cape Cod. Whatever the reason, one thing that makes the whole experience more enjoyable (and considerably more bearable) is seeing your fellow CCAC’ers out there not just cheering you on, but helping you out.

  For those who don’t know this already, the CCAC gets a large portion of its operating budget from the organizer of this race, as we in turn provide him with volunteers on the roads and at the registration table. We have some volunteers for both, but we need a lot more and we need you to commit to this now.

  This is how our club is able to provide a fun and safe atmosphere for our events such as the annual banquet and our Grand Prix series, it helps us run our own club business and it allows us to donate to the many charities that we so generously support.

  If you are not already signed up to run one of the races, which are are all sold out at this point, I ask that you consider giving just a few hours of your time to help out your friends, your family or your fellow club members who are running by volunteering to direct people on the course or help with registration. Thanks so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.  ~ Joe Navas – President, CCAC
