Things are certainly heating up out there, this past weekend was about the warmest we've had so far this year, with that said be careful out there on the roads and trails and keep an eye on each other. The weather didn't stop a huge group from turning out for Jump Start and the Team 13 Open House, should be an exciting year.
Best of Luck this weekend to those running any of the numerous 4th of July races, the Freedom 5k in Princeton, Freedom Day 5k in Owensboro, one of the longest running races around the 36th Annual Firecracker Run 10/5k in Sebree KY, and the ever popular Patriot Run here in Evansville and the Merrill's Mile event in Georgia.
As for Saturday, below is a 12 mile route to the North and West, easy to cut short as we head west or add on if needed before heading back downtown, heading out at 6:00am.
See You Saturday and have a Happy 4th of July!
