As the temperature cools and more runners return to The Villages, the running club hits the ground running with Fall Activities! On tap for the group this month is the opportunity to purchase new running apparel, a Labor Day group run, our first membership meeting after the summer break and an upcoming Home Run.
Dianne Schultz, TVRC Apparel chair, is working with her committee to identify the logoed products we will be selling. One item, the turtle towel, is going to be available for purchase between now and September 7. Order forms for turtle towels will be available from Dianne after Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday runs or at the link below. All orders must be prepaid and are a great way to show your TVRC pride!
The first group race is coming up on Labor Day in Ocala. This 5K race provides many perks and is a great way to celebrate a national holiday. The group will gather under the new Villages Running Club canopy pre and post-race. Check out the race link and don’t forget to register as part of TVRC.

Also, our monthly membership meetings return in September. The first gathering will be Thursday, September 9th at 4:00pm. We will meet outside in the pavilion at Colony Cottage. Agenda items will be posted prior to the meeting, but one item to plan for is TVRC fall apparel. Dianne and her group are looking to add items to our traditional running shirt offerings this time including golf shirts, t-shirts, beanies and a jacket. Remember that members purchase items at cost! Look for a complete listing of agenda items on FB the week prior to the meeting.
Our September Home Run will be Sunday, September 19 at Steve & Carol Wolf’s house. Home runs are a great way to explore new running paths in The Villages and enjoy extended Sunday social hours. Look forward to food, fun, and of course, running at our next Home Run!
As part of our fall activities, I would like to ask everyone to post the next race they plan to run (excluding Ocala on Labor Day) and provide a link to the race website on FB. I will add them to the calendar to help runners find new races to run or old races to revisit. Thanks for your help!
