MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the St. Pete Road Runners (SPRR) is to encourage running and walking for individuals of all ages and abilities in a social environment while promoting fitness and providing education in the community. The SPRR club is well suited for the recreational runner or walker as well as the serious competitor.
St. Pete Beach Summer 5K Series - SPRR has organized a Summer 5K Series on the beach (yes, on the sand). The races will be on Friday evenings and take place at 7 PM on June 6, July 11, and August 8. The races will start and end in front of Harry's Beach Bar at the Sirata Beach Resort, which is located at 5300 Gulf Blvd. After the race, you will be able to enjoy free beer, food, and music at Harry's. I can't think of a better Friday night Happy Hour! Additional information, a link to sign up for the races online, and a downloadable, mail-in race entry are available on the Summer 5K Series webpage.
The next club meeting will take place on Thursday, June 12, 2008 at 6:30pm. Lauri Reynolds will be speaking at the meeting and discussing core strengthening. The meeting will be held at The Hospice of the Florida Suncoast Service Center, which is located at 3050 1st Avenue South in St. Petersburg. Click here for a map.
Join other SPRR members for an afternoon at the Trop. SPRR is getting a group of fans together to see the Rays play the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, August 3rd. The game starts at 1:40pm. Ticket price is only $25 (and you will get a free Rays baseball hat)! We've reserved a group of 50 seats in the Group Hat Section and would like to see you and your family there! If you're interested, please contact Debbie Waylands (onthebeach4ever@yahoo.com). We will need to collect all ticket money prior to the game so please bring your money to the next club meeting or send your payment by July 1st (checks payable to SPRR) to Debbie Waylands at 280 N. Tessier Dr., St. Pete Beach, FL 33706. Ticket distribution will be at our July 10 club meeting.

NEW GROUP RUN TIMES - Summer is approaching quickly and the temperature and humidity are rising. Therefore, SPRR has decided to start our Saturday and Sunday group runs a little earlier. Both the Saturday run from Fit for Life and the Sunday run at Ft. DeSoto will begin at 6:30 AM starting May 24 and May 25, respectively.
