May 11, 2019

Well, if you didn't find a race last weekend, you weren't looking!  Posts online showed local people all over the states, and within Indiana.  There were 5ks, half marathons, and even a Swat Challenge.  Lots of locals ran the Peace Run and Harmony events, and there were a few in Indy for the mini, and those that strolled down in Tennessee for an ultra.  Pittsburgh and Nebraska were also ran.  Hope everyone had a great time!

This weekend, we will go east again, joining up with Run Walk 812.  Shari is putting out an 8 and a 5 mile route starting at 7 from Wesselmans.  We will start at the Y at 6 and run to Wesselmans for 8 if you want an out and back, 13.4 if you do Shari's 5 and a 16 if you want that.  The Loop group will also start at the Y for loops back.

This weekend locally we have the Newburgh Rivertown 5k and 8k at Newburgh Town Hall on Saturday put on by, To the Finish, and Girls Run the World 5k at Garvin Park, by, Rise up and Run.  Get with the for details and start times.

As always be safe and courteous to cars on the road
