Dear Friends,

The Ann Arbor Track Club's For Women Only race just wanted to send out a big thank you to everyone who has helped out volunteering for this race in the past and has expressed interest in volunteering for this race in the future.  I personally wanted to introduce myself, my name is Rachel Ingle and I am working with Julie Kerry and Ellen Nitz to direct this race for 2011 and into the future.   The date for this year's race is May 15th, at 10:30 am at the St. Joesph Mercy Health System.

We are very excited about the 2011 For Women Only 5K, it is going to be a great year, with the number of women in our sport growing each year I expect this race will be a success.  We look forward to celebrating the inclusion of our gender in our sport and we love the unique experience of empowering new female runners and challenging experienced female runners to be the best we can be.

There are not going to be a lot of changes to the over all format of the race.  We will be at the same location, the same Sunday after Mother's Day. We will be starting the race a little bit later this year, at 10:30 am.

Would you like to volunteer?  Look at the date, see if it will work for you, and then think about what you would like to do this year.  We are in need of registation volunteers, water station volunteers, finish line workers, post race food volunteers, course marshalls and many other positions.

Any questions you might have, feel free to email me at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it !

Again thank you so much for your commitment to the running community.
