SEND US YOUR RACE RESULTS:
Have you run in a race such as the Los Angeles Marathon, the Pasadena Marathon, City of Angels Half-Marathon, recently? If so, please let us know and tell us your finishing times.
We would like to recognize all JPLers who race by posting their names and finishing times on the JPL Running Club Web site (eventually, I promise).
And if you'd like to also send us a brief race report, we'd be happy to post that as well. Please email Melora Larson with this information.
Current membership dues are $8.00. New year for dues starts January 1, 2012. You can send a check, payable to "JPL Running Club", to the Club Treasurer, Mark Ryne at JPL Mail Stop 264-282. Off-Lab members should send this to Mark Ryne, Mail Stop 264-282, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, CA 91109.
Please stay tuned for more JPL Running Club races and events. We hope to start holding events essentially once every month or two (or at least 2-4 events every year).

Note: Italicized events are tentative.
Events in gray are not sponsored by the JPL Running Club, but the Club is "adopting" them as sister events because large numbers of Club members are expected to participate. Your participation and finish times in such events can be listed on the Club's web site the same as if these events were Club-sponsored. However, all issues of liability, release waivers, etc., are between the individual runner and the sponsoring organization.
Archived Event Calendars: 2002 1998 1988 1987. Additional event calendars from past years will be archived as they can be found.

Our website is currently undergoing extensive renovation, both in its content and in its "look-and-feel". Keep checking this site while we're renovating, and send us your comments and ideas.
Our old website, inherited from our old jplrecclubs.caltech.edu/running domain, is temporarily archived here. If you notice that we've inadvertently left any old data behind as we transition to our new website, please let us know before we remove the old site.
Approximately 200 old flyers from the first 20 years of our Club's existence (mid-1970s to mid-1990s) have now been scanned and added to our new website. Oldtimers can look at these and reminisce. Newer Club members should read some of our old flyers for ideas on how to make our Club active again.
The Off 'n' Running Newsletter disseminates running news and information of general interest to Club members. The Club's Bulletin Board is a place for information exchange among individual runners or groups of runners. Check the bulletin board often, and the newsletter somewhat less frequently.
