It was a big race weekend here at home with one of the tri-state’s largest races, spanning two states and one bridge and the weather cooperated for the most part. Congratulations to everyone who ran the 2017 River Run Half Marathon, 10 Miler and 12k, I for one hope that this is not the last we see of this unique race, and one more time a big Thank You to Jim Bush and his crew for all the hard work it takes to pull off this event and to Shari Kirkpatrick for her hard work in providing a great training program.
Congrats also go out to those who ran the Indy Mini on Saturday morning, which I failed once again this year to mention last week, I believe because I secretly want to run this race one more time (secret’s out), and Congrats to the group that ran the Strolling Jim 40 miler on Saturday.
I must echo the statements of others earlier in the week of how disappointing it was Sunday morning that instead of a newspaper filled with smiling finisher faces and cheering family members it was an article about closing the riverfront...….won’t happen here, I give you smiling finishers.....
Best of Luck to everyone running the Newburgh Rivertown Trail 5 & 8k, the Run for the Roses in Henderson and the International BBQ Fest 5k in Owensboro.
The Bridge fest continues with the Eastside route below, pedestrian bridge that is, cut back as needed, hope all the mother's have a great run and a Happy Mother's Day!
See You Saturday!
