Wakefern at JSRC Train Run 2018


Wakefern at JSRC Train Run 2018
JSRC Train Run was not as bad as expected.  Yes.. we had light rain with some breeze and comfortable temperature through out the boardwalk run. Some of the 34 club members that ventured to come out ran the 2.6,  4.35, 6.5 miles back to Johnny Mac's Restaurant. All enjoyed the challenge run and post race refreshments.
