West Windsor Arts hosts the ArtWalk – June 1st

Hello PAX!  

Need some MORE guys to volunteer for a F3 Table for next Saturday’s West Windsor Art Walk 2024!  This is VERY important since we benefit from the park in our town, the town asked us to help out, it is one of the ways we can give back to the community and grow F3 Princeton.

The plan is to go from the Saturday workout to the Art Walk at 9:30am-10 am for setup and the event runs from 11-2.  I will be there to setup and help with the first hour and @Manish Bhansali (F3 – Aviator) and @Patrick Chow (Black Hole) have volunteered their time.  Please USE the sign up genius below to help out, especially PAX who live in West Windsor.  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F48A8AD22A0F94-49583307-west

Also, for those interested there will be a 1 mile family walk at the beginning.  Here is the link for the list of events that day.   https://westwindsorarts.org/event/artwalk-june-1-2024/

Lumberton 5k – June 8th

My son Kamran (Coal Mine) and I plan to run a 5k in Lumberton the morning of Saturday June 8 (you can also walk).  These community races are a lot of fun, support good causes, and are good motivation to train.  It’s also fun to compete – reminds me of when I was younger and was an actual athlete:  https://runsignup.com/Race/NJ/EASTAMPTONWHEREVERYOUWANT/NickyGreenMemorial5kRun1MileRunWalk (edited) 

1st Annual NJ F3 Convergence – June 22nd, 7am

Attention F3 Princeton PAX!   

Saturday, June 22nd at 7 am will be the 1st Annual NJ F3 Convergence, titled the 1st Annual NJ F3 Convergence- Summer Solstice at the Jersey Shore, location tentative but looking like Avon by the Sea.  

I am requesting that we cancel all of our local Saturday workouts and get as MANY guys as possible to go down the shore. 

The plan is for 1.5 hour workout, (various Q’s from the different regions).

Coffeeteria will follow. 

Please SAVE The DATE!  

You could bring family and enjoy a day down the Jersey shore after the workout or come solo!

Blue Ridge Relay 2024 – 9/5 to 9/9

To all runner pax!
The one and only spectacular Blue Ridge Relay is back on this year and Lowe’s is recruiting team members for 9 man team. Maybe if there is a lot of interest and commitments plans can change to 12 man team, not sure.


There are spots available, regardless.
Dates: depart for VA Sept 5, return from NC Sept 9.

Please reach out to DC and myself.
If you have done this before – BRR is your race, if you have always thought about it but have not tried – it is an experience to remember!
