A LOOK BACK: 20 Years of ERCU

As we celebrate the club’s 20th anniversary throughout the 2023 season, we’ll take a peek back at club history, significant moments or even just some cool photographs from years gone by.

In the early years of ERCU, founding members Jim and David Lilly annually hosted a New Years Fun Run at their house on Shady Lake in Covington. During that time, club members frequently came together to show off projects in the works, bench race, and just enjoy fellowship with one another. There were even a few boats making it out on to the water for some mid-winter testing. In 2006, a total of 28 members, crew or friends of ERCU turned out for the New Years Fun Run!

This tradition extended from the founding of the club through 2006. Perhaps it’s something that should make a comeback!
