The GERWC Annual Awards Banquet was held on January 31, 2004. Our guest speaker was John "the Penguin" Bingham. John was also available for a "Run/Walk/Waddle and Brunch" at the Pagoda the same day.

John Bingham, the witty and wise popular writer of the Penguin Chronicles in the Runners World magazine will deliver his humorous and self effacing messages of hope and inspiration to people who have been running a week or a lifetime.

He has inspired a generation of new runners to find joy in running, walking and racing. His transformation from a life of "sedentary confinement" to marathoner has become a model for people of all ages and abilities.
