The weather has not been too bad, if you like some rain once in a while. Enjoy it while it is the start of Spring, because in Evansville, Summer is just a day away. In local racing, we had the, Bound the Mound, trail race at Friedman Park, and the USI, March into Madness, 7 K race. Then one of the Louisville Triple Crown races was ran this past weekend also. Hope you all had a good race! For those that are still training, the Run Victoria group met at Newburgh Fitness for some hills!
This weekend, Run Victoria / Run Walk 812 will be meeting up at Forefront Therapy on First Street. Shari will have 3, 5, and 9 mile routes available for a 7 am start. The BOR group will meet up at the downtown Y and start up at 6:45 am and run to Forefront and join the group starting there. I will add a 2 and 4 mile mid run extension for those wanting more than 10 miles. The Loop Group will meet at Wesselmans at 7 am at the shelter out from the tennis courts.
In Racing this weekend, we have the, Run of Luck 5 K, which will start at the Hadi Temple on Walnut. There is also the USO 10 Miler at Fort Campbell, KY. Get with Rise up and Run, or To the Finish for details on these races. The Ultra and trail runners are heading down to LBL for various racing distances. Whether racing or training have fun out there!
As always, be courteous and thoughtful to the drivers, while running the streets!
Goal for 2020
Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,
