Well it's that time of year once again, the grease moves from St. Joe around the corner to Franklin Street....it's Fall Festival Week!! I have included a one mile route, errr.....the Munchie Map below for your use. As stated last week, with the Half behind us we will make the change to a 7:00 am start this week, now on with the show.
Saturday morning proved to be almost perfect conditions for the Evansville Half Marathon and it showed in the times posted by all. Lots of age group and Series awards were taken home, Congrats to all the finishers for making it your day after all the hard work you put in over the last 13 weeks, wether you PR'd, paced, walked or ran, everyone that participated is what makes up this race and what makes this race so special.
........and then a Half is just the warm up for some, Congrats to the group who ran in Nashville Sunday at the Greenway Marathon and Congrats to Cathy D. on the second place female finish!
Weekend racing action this week includes the Celina Marathon/Half, Bedford Half, Hillside Harvest Hustle 5k, the Zombie 5k in Huntingburg, Candy Corn 5k in Carmi IL on Saturday and the Otters Race 5k on Sunday.
Fall Marathon season seems to really kick off this weekend with the Chicago Marathon, Good Luck to everyone heading North!
It's Tri time again, this weekend we head to Louisville, KY where another group looks to claim the Ironman title, Good Luck to everyone, you have put in the training now go grab whats yours on Sunday! Spectators post below for any carpool opportunities.

Back to the grind, for those staying in town for the weekend, below is a 16 mile run on the North/West side with a trip down Franklin Street to get you through those last few miles, you may want to tuck a couple of bucks in the shorts for an early morning pronto pup to get you home. 7:00 am start from the Downtown Y.
