October 31, 2020

What could be more scary than Halloween 2020?  With the direction things have gone so far, who knows!  Everyone kept up with their training this past weekend, and some fun pics were caught.  Keep up the training, and if anyone wants to rejoin the groups, there are runners, walkers and everywhere in between still out hitting the roads Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays.  If you need a group, ask on the Facebook BOR post, and someone will find you.

This weekend, Run Walk 812 is starting out at the State Hospital grounds at 7 am.  Meet up at the small parking lot just South of Lincoln.  Shari has a 4.5, 7.5, 8, and 9 mile routes posted, and you can also find them below.  Those that want a longer run, start from the Y downtown for a little over 9.5 mile add on, and should probably start at 6 am, from the Y to join up at the start of 812's group.  Dress up in your favorite Halloween running costume to make it the most fun!  The Loop Group will start from Downtown, on Vine, near Vectren at 7 am, and do their loops from that point.

In local racing, it looks like there is the Red Dome Trail Festival 5 & 10K at Scales Lake Park, Saturday.  Tri State Fitness should get you going on this race.  The Ace Scare Skele-Fun Run 5K at UE, with Rise Up and Run.   Blazin Glazin Fun run is Sunday, at Deaconess Sports Park.  There are still some Virtual races going on, so if you want to run safer, get signed up for one of these.  See the sites below for other upcoming races.

To The Finish Timing

Rise Up and Run

Enjoy your run, and 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 YOU Used to Be!




Remember to shop local, and support our favorite running and fitness store. Curt, Cindi, and the Ultimate Fit team will help you get to and through your training and racing needs! They will have all of the winter layering and cold weather gear you might need.  With the earlier darkness, get your illumination gear, so everyone can see you coming while running the streets!
