The Greater Long Island Running Club offers its thanks to the good folks at Winthrop Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery for their continued support for the club's North American Wheelchair Championship Race. Dr. Alan Hartman and Nurse Kathy Wagner of Winthrop met with Race Director Nick Katsounis recently to discuss plans for the 2000 event, and Nick presented them with special plaques to thank them for their past support, along with race T-shirts from 1999.

The ninth annual North American Wheelchair Championship 10K Race will be held on Sunday, June 25, 2000.
