Welcome to the Home Page of the Merced Running Club, supporting running and
racing in the San Joaquin Valley since 1968. This website has been in
service since 1997.
The Merced Running Club is a nonprofit organization and a
member of The Road Runners Club of America.
 Webmaster's
Column--June 2009
OK, so it's hot. You live in the San Joaquin Valley, after all!
Grab a big water bottle, a hat, and the sunscreen. Run early in the
morning if you don't like the heat, or wait until 2:00 in the afternoon if
you are training for a desert trail run. Running along the creek or a
canal is cooler. Remember the salt tablets if you are going to be out
for a few hours. There's nothing like a 4-hour run to clear your head!
In Hilmar the Udder Run was a terrific success, with a record number of
participants--thank you Michelle Livak! In July we have the Run for
Independence, with the wonderful small town atmosphere of the craft show and
parade after the race. Don't miss it!
In September we have the challenging Amigo de Oro and the Mariposa County
Fair. This is a terrific race, and I recommend you do some hill
training over the next couple months in preparation.
The new Merced Running Club jackets are still available, from Superior
Threads Embroidery here in Merced. They are silver with either black
stripes and collar or black piping and collar. The MRC club logo is on the back, with a smaller logo on the chest.
Jerry Haywood has samples of the jackets for you to see
and try on for size. You can find him at the Merced City College track
on Tuesday evenings and at the
Thursday night runs. Call
Jerry at 209-358-9341 or 209-617-6651 for questions or to place an order.
You can get your name embroidered on the front if you like.
Go Long,
Dave Simenson
