Dates for the spring XC series are Tuesdays, May 17, 24, 31, June 7. Entry and information here.
Volunteers are needed every day. Please share with friends who may wish to help.
How to volunteer -- email one of our fine race directors or series coordinator (yours truly).
Helping out at one or two is wonderful. We also want you to race.
Specific dates:

[ Some help still needed for Saturday, April 9 at Institute Woods:
iaswoods@princetonac.org Audrey Sederberg / Lawren Smithline ]
CONFIRM by email or posting.
Thinking about volunteering is nice. Talking to one of us is great.
It's just not possible to keep this all in memory, and the club does not have the mind reading tech, yet.
Most roles are approximately 6 to 8 PM: a few a little earlier, a few a little later.
If we snag you for the finish line crew or other role that prevents you from racing, we comp you to the cookout planned for June 7. (We'll get the burgers and dogs. BYO accompaniments and beverage, but no glass bottles, please. Park rules.)
If you've missed out your chance to be race director, future opportunities can be made.
Thanks.

April 24 Trying out the race gear
Setting up the finish line using Steven's posts
The mysterious RD measures and marks
April 12 meeting
We discussed possibilities for a summer event.
Key point: settle on venue and major aspects so
we can get an entry form ready to distribute at our
spring races.
We approved a regular Wednesday evening run.
See schedule of events
Meeting point: Princeton Running Company,
108 Nassau Street, in Princeton.
Meet at 6:15 pm, out the door at 6:30 pm.
We need a run leader and a run follower (about 11 min. pace) for each run.
Bureaucracy. First timers should sign a waiver. A sample was circulated at
the meeting and will shortly be posted.
Everyone should sign in the log book. Mike suggested signing in with an estimated
pace. This will help organize pace groups.
Our course will be from 108 Nassau to the D&R canal at Harrison, toward Washington.
Return via Washington to make 3.2 miles.
Continue on canal and return on Alexander to make 4.5 miles.
Dogleg out and back further on canal to go further.
Longer distances are still a work in progress, and
we will probably adjust the course seasonally.
March 8 meeting
We approved the race series as described on the entry form.
It's time to go out and promote the race. As a goal, we would
like to see each member bring in two entries in March.
We discussed the fine art of finish line management.

Thanks to Megan for coordinating the group entry.
Nolan McCarty sends the following report.
We approved the bylaws and other organizing policies.

it will be a team effort.
Ginny and Laura will take over maintaining membership forms
and current member list.
Shortly after the meeting, Megan and Lawren got a bank account for Princeton A. C.
So now people can write checks to "Princeton Athletic Club of Princeton, New Jersey, Inc."
or just "P A C".

Race -- Cupid's Chase 5k, February 13
Thanks to Megan for coordinating the group entry.
Nolan McCarty sends the following report.
On a cold and blustery day, the 10 Princeton Athletic Club members joined about 500 other runners for its debut race at the Cupid Chase 5k in Princeton. Despite the hilly, icy course, the PAC had a breakout performance including top 10 finishes by Marty Suresh and Lee Sandburg. The PAC made its mark in the age-group races clocking in the top three repeatedly.
Thanks to everyone who came out with a special shout out to Sky who filled in as team photographer.
