This is a good time to check out ACRR and First Place Sports website for upcoming races.  Don’t forget the Matanzas 5k is January 21st in St. Augustine.  The ACRR sponsors this race, and the proceeds go to several area high school X-country and Track teams.
 
Also if you are a member of ACRR you can renew your membership online or at the Matanzas race.  I highly recommend if you are not a member to join.(membership is from Jan-Dec.) There are several benefits to joining.  You save $10 on the Matanzas race as a member, along with several other area races that will be coming up.  The biggest perk is the tented area for the Gate River Run where we have our own blocked off area, Port-O -Johns, changing area, and GREAT food.
 
Single membership is $20/yr. and Family/Couple membership is $30.  If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me.
