__/ HOME DEPOT SPONSORS CRIM 5K RUN; JEFF GALLOWAY WILL APPEAR AT EXPO - Flint, MI- The Crim Festival of Races continues to be a Flint tradition with the generous support of a number of community minded sponsors. Home Depot, a Crim sponsor of the 5K Run since 1999, has granted funds once again to the Crim as part of their 2003 Fitness Series Events.

Home Depot focuses their charitable contributions toward a number of community needs such as development and rehabilitation of affordable housing, programs that serve youth at-risk, environmental programs, disaster preparedness and community health and fitness issues. And their philanthropy doesn't stop there- the Home Depot also pays for their employee's entry fee and special Home Depot orange race t-shirts for the Crim 5K Run at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 23.

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Home Depot has developed a special partnership with Jeff Galloway, wellness consultant, noted author former Olympic athlete and trainer, who also calls Georgia home. Galloway will make an appearance at the Home Depot's Booth (#2) at the 2003 Crim Health and Fitness Expo, August 21-23. The Crim also has an exciting partnership with Galloway, who designed the 15-week training regimen known as the Crim Training Program. The Crim Training Program broke all records this year with 634 participants registered within the program's four levels.

__/ T WO DOGS RUNNING -Dave Serino wrote to tell us he is training with a group of runners under the tutelage of Two Dogs Running in Ann Arbor. Two Dogs Running founder, Kathleen Gina, directs the Michigan Big 10 and the Rutka 5K director. The other dog is Gina's assistant Clifford J. Nix. Serino swears by the program and is getting pumped about running the Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Bank Marathon on October 5.

__/ MICHIGAN RUNNER RACE SERIES WILL CONTINUE WITH THE CRIM 10 MILE, AUGUST 23 -Race series events are open to Michigan residents; you do not have to register with the Michigan Runner to participate. Each runner's top 10 results will count at the conclusion of the series. Another way to think about this is that each runner's worst results will be thrown out. Missing one race will not hurt anyone's standings.
