Lexi at East Brunswick Road Race 5k

Dear East Brunswick Road Races:

          I enjoyed running your race again. I have been road running competitively in Central New Jersey for the past twenty years. Runners appreciate running events with sufficient course marshals, water stops and post race refreshments. The organizers and sponsors of your race should be commended on the excellent set up. I have encouraged other runners to support local running events that raise money for charity and non-profit groups. I enjoyed the Massage Table with volunteers.

Dear Fallen Heroes 5k :

          I enjoyed running your race again. I have been road running competitively in Central New Jersey for the past twenty years. Runners appreciate running events with sufficient course marshals, water stops and post race refreshments. The organizers and sponsors of your race should be commended on the excellent set up. I have encouraged other runners to support local running events that raise money for charity and non-profit groups. 

         Since it’s usually very hot, suggest park two fire trucks spraying the runners with water.

         We look forward to running your race again next year. I run races almost every weekend and am a member of 6 running clubs. I can help publicize your race next year and distribute your race applications. Please let me know. You can mail me 200-300 applications for your race. I will assist you by dropping them off at races throughout central New Jersey. I will include your race next year in the list of community events and running races in our email newsletter we send to 1,200 friends, clients, runners and community leaders. 

                                                           Very truly yours,

                                                           KENNETH A. VERCAMMEN
