What can I say, this year is moving fast, even though so much craziness is going on! The second weekend in September, and last weekend we had a chance to run a real race. There were 2 local races, with Run Victoria, and the Evansville Labor Day run. Hopefully if you felt safe running, you got out there and tested your body against some other folks doing the same!
This weekend would have been the running of the Y series 15 K race, and Team 13 is providing a route or 2 that can be used if you want to run it virtual. Since it will be downtown from the Old Y, I will throw the 5 mile add on for anyone that wants a few extra.
In Local racing, it looks pretty dry for this weekend, but To the Finish has a race up in Fort Wayne IN. If you feel like getting away and running live, get with them and sign up. If you feel like spectating a high school XC race, there is one Saturday also at Washington IN. A few of the Ultra runners found races for the weekend, but I lack the information on these. Look at the sites below to see if there is a virtual or other race coming up that interests you!
