Budget

Trevor went over our 2023 budget. Tributes from the races are still deflated due to the pandemic.

Fredericksburg Ultra

John Calabrese and Kate Moga pitched a detailed idea for a 45k run on the river trails in Fredericksburg. They have a course picked out including aid stations. They will be reaching out to the City/owner of the property for details on requirements for holding an event this summer.

Backyard Ultra

Sarah Smith and Mike Dobies pitched the idea of having a Fat Ass Backyard Ultra. Mike has offered to time the event while Sarah has offered to help support. This event would need a Race Director. Potential to be a Fall event.

Youth Division

Tracy Cooley and her daughter Josie Krughoff pitched the idea of starting a youth division within the club by allowing runs with shorter distances for youth, run in the last mile with a parent, offering support at aid stations, and allowing individual membership. Josie has been named our Youth Liaison.
