Online Registration Now Open for Run Gloucester! 7-Mile Road Race
Online registration is underway for the second Run Gloucester! 7-Mile Road Race, set for Sunday, August 21 on scenic Cape Ann in Gloucester, Mass.
Runners can register at www.rungloucester.com for one of the New England’s newest and most picturesque road races. Race organizers are hoping to build on the momentum of last year’s inaugural race, which featured 1,000 runners and drew rave reviews from participants and spectators alike.
The race, which begins and ends at the famous Fisherman’s Memorial on the historic Gloucester waterfront, features a relatively flat but challenging course that takes runners along one of New England’s most picturesque seascapes – including five miles of ocean views.
The newcomer Run Gloucester! 7-Mile Road Race is the third of a three-race series of major coastal New England road races held each August – the TD Bank Beach to Beacon in Cape Elizabeth, Maine is Aug. 6, the New Balance Falmouth Road Race Aug. 14 on Cape Cod, and now the Run Gloucester! on Aug. 21.
The Gloucester 7-Mile is viewed as a celebration of the seaport city’s rich running culture while also introducing many and re-acquainting others to the area’s stunning beauty. Runners from as a far away as California and Kenya entered the 2010 race, cheered on by spectators along the course.
Last year, a pair of elite runners from Kenya, Lineth Chepkurui (37:23) and Alan Kiprono (32:54), took top honors. The Gloucester 7-Mile also drew a top-notch contingent of Cape Ann runners, including Matt Curran, 53, of Gloucester (41:26) who topped the men’s field and Layne Alves, 30, of Rockport (44:58) who was the first local woman.
Proceeds from the race benefit the Gloucester Fishermen Athletic Association (GFAA). The GFAA raises funds for Gloucester High School student-athletes, sports programs and facilities, and is a key supporter of the renovation of Gloucester High’s Newell Stadium.
The Run Gloucester! 7-Mile Road Race – which also features a Kid’s Fun Run the morning of the race – was created and is managed by DMSE Sports., Inc. whose founder, Dave McGillivray, also is the longtime race director of the BAA Boston Marathon.
“This is the time of year when we start looking forward to summer and thinking about our fitness goals,” McGillivray said. “We’d like to encourage people to sign up and commit to this race now, circle Aug. 21 on their calendars, set a goal and start getting ready.”
McGillivray said DMSE will look at ways to build on the success of last year’s inaugural race.
“For a first-time event, last year’s Gloucester 7-Mile ran smoothly with great community support and a strong group of volunteers,” he said. “We’re going to try to build on that enthusiasm and support and make this one even better.”
Businesses who wish to be a race sponsor this year may contact Alan Steinberg, Sponsor/Event Consultant at DMSE Sports, Inc., 561-676-3531 or by e-mailing him at alan@dmsesports.com.
For additional information on this year’s race, visit the race website at www.rungloucester.com. Also, find the race on Facebook at www.facebook.com/RunGloucester.
Founded by McGillivray in 1981, DMSE Sports, Inc. is a leader in sports event management, specializing in creating, marketing and producing mass participatory athletic events throughout the U.S. and abroad. McGillivray has produced or consulted on more than 900 events throughout the world, including 23 Boston Marathons; the 2004 and 2008 USA Women’s Olympic Marathon Trials, the 1990 Triathlon World Championship, the 1998 Goodwill Games Triathlon, and the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.

NAVIGATORS SET TO HOST ‘GLOUCESTER NIGHT’ JULY 1 AS PART OF TEAM’S 50/50 TOWN NIGHT PROGRAM
The North Shore Navigators of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) have made a concerted effort to give back to surrounding communities since the team moved to Lynn three years ago.
This upcoming summer, the organization will continue its 50/50 Town Night program which benefits local organizations in surrounding North Shore area cities and towns. The program provides an organization the opportunity to sell tickets to a game and receive half the proceeds from its sales. The team’s goal is to help raise $100,000 for surrounding community organizations in 2011.
The team’s 6:15 p.m. contest on July 1 against the Sanford Mainers will serve as ‘Gloucester Night’, as the Gloucester Little League will serve as the program’s beneficiary. If you wish to sell or purchase tickets, please notify league contact Cindy Rich at (978) 546-3006 or cindyrich@verizon.net.
“The Navigators as an organization are excited and proud to have the opportunity to give back to the immediate area,” said team owner Tim Haley. “It is an extension of our goal to become part of the fabric of the North Shore community.”
The organization is also currently seeking a sponsor to provide t-shirts for the 300 little league members in attendance at the game.
Each of the team’s home games this season will support at least one local organization in the nearby community. The partnership also calls for community representatives to throw out the first pitch, sing the national anthem, and perform other ceremonial ballpark tasks.
The Navigators, who won the NECBL championship last year, will play 21 games at Lynn’s Fraser Field this summer and will also host the 2011 NECBL All-Star Game on July 27.
For more information on the team and its 50/50 Town Night program, please visit http://www.nsnavs.com.

Join us this Saturday, March 26th, 8:00 AM at Eastern Ave Self Storage for dory prep day! Roll up your sleeves and volunteer a couple hours to scrape and paint the practice boats in anticipation of an April 2nd launch date. We look forward to seeing you there.
IDRC
Jimmy T writes-
I look forward to seeing you all, Saturday, to start our 2011 season! It’s going to be cool at 8 a.m. so you may want to bring some light gloves and a hat. Also anyone who has a scraper and/or sander please bring them. A shop vacuum would also be helpful. Hopefully we’ll have plenty of people and be done by noon. If we get 2-4 people to a boat the work goes quickly.
If you know new people who might be interested in rowing, this is good opportunity for them to get a foot in the door and get to meet us all!
See you there!
