MEMBERS ONLY Races Alert – February 23 & September 6
SFRP has required our two Spreckels Lake races on Feb 23 and Sept 6 to be “members only”. Non-members who appear at the registration table will not be allowed to run but will be encouraged to sign up as members ($23 for a 5K is still a bargain!) It is critical for the DSE to adhere to SFRP’s restrictions in order to maintain a good working relationship with them as we ask for over 25 permits/year from this agency.
In an attempt to encourage more volunteerism, the Board also decided that the Sept 6 Spreckels Lake race will be a “volunteer-only” race, for members who have accrued at least one volunteer point. Please check our website for volunteer opportunities.
You can check your membership status on our Membership Page. Children under age 18 join for free, but you must register each child separately.

2020 DSE Annual Awards Gala
Last weekend brought us another excellent Annual Awards Gala with great food and fun. It’s always nice to mingle with fellow club members somewhere other than at a race. The festivities were held at a new and very nice venue, the Spanish Cultural Center in San Francisco. Big thanks to long time member, Mary Gray for finding the venue, creating the decorations and coordinating the event.
If you missed it or want to review the many deserving award winners, check out the slideshow presentation which was put together by Mary Gray.
Registration Table Changes in the New Year
Happy new year DSE’ers! Since we’ve gone to calendar year and online (mostly)membership, registration will be slightly different and a little bit faster. Members will just need to check their name against the roster, pay their $3 ($0 for gold membership) and be on their way. No need for members to sign the paper waiver each week. Non-members pay $5 and must sign the paper waiver.
