Award Winners
In 1993, we began the tradition of having an annual gala banquet and presenting awards to members for service and accomplishments. Many of our awards are named in honor of distinguished members who were instrumental or inspirational in getting our Club off the ground and making it what it is.
The Ideal Runner Award
The male award has been named since 1996 for Dave Dixon, the female award has been named since 1999 for Debbie Seale. This award is presented to the member who exemplefies the running life as a friend, competitor, and in service to the Club.
