JIM LOFTUS - 2009 Winner of the 'Spirit of the Equinox' This years winner of the Spirit of the Equinox, Jim Lofts, was somewhat surprised as he was invited to the Equinox awards under the pretext of presenting an award, not receiving one. Jim has been a figure in the running communtiy for many years but not known as a distance runner. In fact, for Jim, a 'long' run is 5K. He has never run the Equinox but the Spirit of the Equinox is not an award for just having run the event, it's for someone who has contributed to the sport and community. Jim has certainly done that. He as been instrumental in starting and maintaining track meets within the community. He started and continues to organize the 'All Comers' track meets, is Running Club North's liasion to Region 6 Track and Field for high scholl track, and has competed nationally and internationally in Master's competition. |

Bob Hildebrandt was the winner in 2008. To those who know Bob, his selection as the winner of this years Spirit of the Equinox, should not have been a surprise. His many contributions over his years as a runner made him an obvious winner. He has supported the running community and Running Club North as a race director, board member, storage of RCN equipment, registration site and bib pickup for numerous races, and avid participant in most races not only locally but around the U.S and world. |
