March 21, 2020

Here we are in the middle of the Worldwide Pandemic, and everyone needs to practice caution and personal distancing.  We will continue to publish routes for long weekend run training, since as runners, that is what we do.  Last weekend we had a couple of race cancellations, but training and the LBL race went on.  Congrats to all that ran that race and especially did well in the sloppy cold conditions!  You are badass!

This weekend the BOR will start at the downtown Y which may or may not be open, so be prepared for either situation.  I would recommend bringing a carry water bottle in case none is available and no need to take a chance of passing anything back and forth.  We will run to Wesselmans and join the 812 / Run Victoria group.  Shari is posting an 8 mile route, and will not have copies for distribution, so copy or print your own copy for running.  The Loop group will start their loops from the Old Armory west of UE campus.

Racing seems to be on hold or through virtual racing, so look to the race director / timing group websites below to keep up to date on virtual or cancelled races.  Whatever you do, as always enjoy the run, and practice social distancing!

For race information, look to:

As always, be courteous and thoughtful to the drivers, while running the streets!

Goal for 2020
Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,
But to be Better Than I Used to Be!
