Thanks to all that joined us and ran the Apple Chase yesterday. It was a beautiful day and we had another solid turn out. From what we heard everyone had a great time. Results are posted on applechase.com for those that are interested. Post race message will go out in a few days. Happy Running.
Updated 4-24-13 - 7:00AM In preparation for May 4th we have one more Group Run coming up for those that want a sneak peek of the newly revised 2013 Applechase 5K course. Aaron Goldstein, a close club supporter volunteered and lead those interested, around the 10K course this past Sunday morning. The 5K run, also being led by Aaron is set for Saturday, April 27th again at 9AM, so mark your calendars. All interested Applechasers will meet in the Pequannock Regional High School front parking lot at 8:45am. Please RSVP to club@pcrcnj.org if interested in attending.
Updated 3-14-13 - 12:00PM Unfortunately there will not be a GROUP RUN this SUNDAY 3-17-13. We will however run on the Applechase's originally planned date of Sunday, 3-24-13. Two (2) PCRCNJ members will lead those inclined to join us through the 10K and 5K courses starting at 10AM! Want a 2012 tech tee? Bring a 5 spot and its all yours! Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP to club@pcrcnj.org if you plan on attending. See everyone there!
Updated 3-2-13 - 9:00AM The GROUP RUNS (as denoted in the 2-25-13 post) for SUNDAY 3-3-13 are still ON. See everyone there!

Updated 3-1-13 - 4:30PM Given recent changes affecting the Applechase's "host" location the event is being reevaluated to ensure how best to proceed. There are a number of variables that need to be discussed to arrive at a suitable resolution. For this reason registration has been temporarily suspended in order to regroup and discuss next steps. We appreciate everyone's patience while we work through these discussions.
Updated 2-25-13 - 10:45A Anyone interested in running the Applechase 10K (9:30am) and/or 5K (10:30am) courses next Sunday March 3rd please send a note to club@pcrcnj.org so I can have a head count. We'll be meeting "across the street" from the Pequannock Regional High School parking lot beforehand (90 Sunset Rd Pompton Plains on Google Maps). Be sure to bring water or sports/recovery drink. I'll have a case of water on hand just in case... but no bagels. Kudos to those that found us (given the wresting tournament that was underway) and ran the 10K and 5K courses this past Sunday (2/24). See everyone there. Cheers Ross (club@pcrcnj.org please!)
Updated 2-17-13 - 5PM The 2012-2013 Winter Series is officially in the books. Results are linked below. Thanks to all that came out... especially at the last race which was EXTREMELY windy and cold. It took me an hour to find the mile markers afterwards. See everyone at the Applechase!
Updated 2-9-13 - 10AM We are not cancelling the last race... just postponing it until next Sunday, 2/17. Its a mess out there right now and we all need to focus on the clean up. Be sure to grab a friend for next Sundays race... The club has a a few surprises planned. Be safe!
Updated 2-8-13 - 3PM With Nemo coming please check here before venturing out on Sunday. Our ability to run is totally dependent on when the PCTi maintenance crew clears the compound. An update will be provided by Sunday 8am.
Updated 1-26-13 - 3PM The PCTi course is 95% free of snow. Race is a go for tomorrow 1-27-13. See everyone there!!!
Updated 1-13-13 - 3PM Today's results are linked below. See everyone in 2 weeks!!!
Updated 1-11-13 - 6:00PM WINTER SERIES IS SET TO RESUME SUNDAY, January 13th at 11AM
The forecast for Sunday looks warm. We might even need a water station!!! Registration will open at 9:30AM. Please come out and join us for a timed FUN RUN if you are able. Water & Bagels post race. Entry is by Donation Only!
Updated 12-30-12 - 8:10AM WINTER SERIES RACE CANCELLED!
The unthinkable has happened. I drove up to the compound to find it completely snow covered... outside of the entranceway to the guard house. Kattak Parkway is a crunchy.. icy... mess... and unsafe. The plows had just arrived when I was departing. I asked how long and they said they won't be done til noon and they cannot have anyone on the grounds while they are working. My apologies as I know many of you love this Series as I do. So think of it as your slowest race from years past and train for the next three (3)!!! See everyone on January 13th. Happy New Year! I will be posting pictured later to record this cataclysmic event!
Updated 12-27-12
Registration opens 9:30 AM for all races. You can pickup your chip/bib between 9:30 AM and just before 11. When you get to the guard house (just inside the entrance of the school) tell them you are there for the race. You will follow the road to the right (behind the school) and make your first left as you pass the school/field. Please DO NOT park in the lot across from the guard house or the lot (next left) past the parking area as BOTH are part of the course. Take note: You will pass the entrance way to registration on your way to park.
Be sure to check back here for any snow updates!!!
