March 21…Leprechaun 5-Miler in Madison

February 4, 2010

Welcome to the Home Page for the Leprechaun 5-Miler, a fun St. Patrick’s Day race tradition!!! 

We’re building off of a successful race last year and are hoping you can help us grow it even bigger this year!  All proceeds from the race go towards the Exchange clubs pioneering work in the prevention of child abuse along with all of the other Community Service work the Madison Exchange Club engages in.  The race tracks Madison’s picturesque shoreline on Middle Beach Road for one of the flattest and fastest 5-Milers around.  Not up for 5 Miles? Try our 2 mile fitness walk along some of the same famous coastline.  Got kids?  Get them started on a lifelong path of healthy activities by getting them away from the TV and outside for an exhilirating race with their friends with our 1/2 mile Kids Fun run! 

PARTY AFTER THE RACE!!!

What would a St. Patrick’s Day Race be with a ‘spirit-filled’ celebration of the holiday!  If you’re of age, please join us for a beer after the race courtesy of one of our long time sponsors.  Your soul will also be warmed by some local clam chowder donated by another one of our long time sponsors, Lenny & Joe’s.  We’re excited for another great race this year and look forward to seeing you there!!!

Want to become more involved?

Sponsors:  The people who run and walk in the Leprechaun 5-Miler are a great group of people to reach out to.  Contact our Race Director, Jonathan Snyder for opportunities to enhance your business.

Teams:  Want to band together as a group and go above and beyond the call of duty for either work or school?  Help us raise additional dollars to help prevent child abuse by getting people to sponsor your team!  Check back here or contact our Race Director for details. 

Volunteers:  Want to help out but can’t run or walk on race day?  We have many volunteer opportunities both before and during the race day and we’d appreciate your involvement. Check back here or contact our Race Director for details…jonathan.e.snyder@yahoo.com

Madison Turkey Trot


soundRUNNER Madison Jaycees Turkey Trot

November 25, 2009

I have spent the last 2 days in Madison assisting in packet pickup for the Turkey Trot in the Hammonasset State Park. Every year our numbers grow…runners and walkers have been supporting this race for 30 years, after tomorrow 31. Before I owned soundRUNNER, I would come down here on Thanksgiving morning run and catch up with people I hadn’t seen all year. We would discuss our life since the previous Turkey Trot over Red Hook, Cohen’s Bagels , and Friend’s chowder.

Good luck to all the runners and walkers…another record breaking registration…see you in the a.m. I’ll be the one cheering for you!

Stony Creek Road Race 2009

October 7, 2009

What a tough year for the soundRUNNER Stony Creek Road Race. This was the 2nd year after the 10 year hiatus. I wish it hadn’t rained…we only had 30 people sign up on race day. Last year we had 120…I think it’s a great race. I could be a little prejudise since this is where Bob proposed to me 11 years ago.

Please know that all soundRUNNER road races benefit a worthy cause. The Stony Creek Race benefits the Stony Creek Volunteer Fire Department.

The following are some noteworthy pictures:
