Put Gil in charge. he is great. My other idea is brooklyn road runners web site is terrific (except I cannot access half the time)Copy them. On a serious note, if you are going to go to the expense of mailing a newletter, it should be different information than a \"free website\" . Runnersworld.com; More.com (More magazine) amd Fitness.com have websites and magazines. The magazine which costs more is more in depth than the freebie web articles.
As to the question you asked as to a digital format.. .your news letter could list all races in the tri state area (NYC/NJ, CT) area like Striders race club does. too much of your newletter is personal which is great if you are the person but to be really rude and I apologize in advance, who cares it you do not know these people?
I take the speed session with Tony Watson and he sends emails about races in the metro area ( ny , nj and ct) that I would never know about except for his emails. You guys cleaned up at the Pepper Martin race due to him as well as cleaning up at the Cosme 5K . You could incoparate this into your newsletters.
Last suggestion for your newletter is to steal from Parkslope sports and Pptc.org\' s posting websites and put out any interesting posts they may have. The posters all seem to be real runners who have good advice as to questions about pacing, clothes, etc.
