The theme design contest for the 12th Malverne 5K closed on September 12th. The MEFF board of directors received just one submission. In the past, we’ve set a selection period for the public to voice their opinion. Obviously, we don’t need it this year. In October, we’ll use the submitted artwork (below), after we obtain the digital file from the author. As in previous years, the author will receive a check in the amount of $100 at the event. And as in previous year, the artist is George Matthaei, Malverne school district resident living in Lynbrook.

There is Inwood 5K on October 9th I can recommend. After the previous post, some local runners inquired about the Fly with the Owls 4-miler in Lynbrook. They said it was not scheduled for this November. We don’t have any update. I recommend all interested individuals to use social media to get together and plan for next year. The date, course, distance, it’s all open to the active ones who’ll bring it back next year.

See you at Malverne HS on October 16th at 8:30 for the fun run.
