Dear LMJS family and friends,

The violent deaths of African Americans George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others have been horrifying. Our country needs systemic changes to ensure fairness for African Americans in all areas of life.

We condemn racism and support justice and equity for African Americans and all people of color. Our club, founded in 1977, has always welcomed anyone regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, income, or running ability. But with the recent events and hard discussions happening around the country, we are now committing to working towards anti-racism and equity in our society and promoting greater inclusion of black runners and walkers in our club.

Following Ahmaud Arbery’s death, we’ve heard black runners share their stories of harassment and their fears for personal safety when going out for a run. Part of our charge, therefore, is to make running safer for all.

We will work with our parent affiliate Road Runners Club of America (RRCA), other running and fitness organizations, other community partners, and club members to develop concrete plans for change. If you are interested in helping with this effort, or would like to share your ideas, please respond to this email or contact a board member.

Dear LMJS Members and Friends,

We hope you and all those close to you are safe, healthy, and active during the pandemic. We are proud to have a running club like LMJS to help keep us stay connected and engaged and provide grants/donations to support our community’s non-profits, including food banks, youth-run programs, and racial equity organizations during these difficult times. While members and friends are doing activities separated from each other, we are still moving forward and together as LMJS.

Our Board would like to offer all Members and New Members relief for the annual membership fee. We hope these temporary sliding scale fee choices, effective February 1, 2021, through January 31, 2022, will be beneficial:

• Individual Level fee choices are $2.50, $5.00, $10.00, and $20.00
• Family Level fee choices are $2.50, $5.00, $15.00, and $30.00
• New Members will have the same choices for Individual or Family levels. Everyone is encouraged to join or renew.

Thank you for continuing your Membership and supporting our LMJS Mission and Vision.

Thanks to Everyone who has donated to our Virtual 4th Sunday Races!

LMJS Community Service

As part of our community service, LMJS supports our local food banks and other organizations that align with the LMJS mission through monetary donations, generated by our races and training programs.  Especially during this time of the Covid pandemic, we see the continued need to support the food banks in our communities. Through your support and donations, LMJS Races has donated to the Alameda County Community Food Bank, Solano and Contra Costa Food Bank, and other community organizations.  

We will continue to donate to Black organizations in the Bay Area with the proceeds from our future Virtual races.
