Saturday, November 21st

For the weekend wrap up, Congrats to everyone who made the trip to Tennessee for the Nashville Marathon and to Tunnel Hill for the Ultra weekend, BQ's and a lot of great runs! Congrats also to everyone who took part in the Drumstick Dash Saturday morning, looked like huge crowd for a great cause.

The 1st Annual (?) BOR Football Tailgate in Bloomington looked to be a success from the pictures I've seen, despite the loss of the home team, this looks like it should become a yearly event!

Good Luck this weekend to the big group heading west for the Route 66 Marathon & Half Marathon, the Flying Monkey Marathon, the Get Dirty Trail Run, the Turkey Day 5k in Owensboro and to those running here in the Barb Raben 5k on Sunday.

Eastside route this week for those staying here, below is a 4, 8 and 12 mile option, a little something for everyone.

See you Saturday!

Annual BOR Food Drive (this week)

This will be the second weekend for the Annual BOR Food Drive, we will be collecting once again this week in front of the Downtown YMCA until 7:00 am and we'll hang around after your run until 9:15ish if you wish to bring can goods and other non-perishable items, we will be delivering to one of the local food pantry's Saturday morning but if you miss us you can always place your items in the box inside the YMCA lobby.

Συγχαρητήρια (that's Congratulations for those who don't know Greek) this week to Michelle and Allen Walker who went to where it all started and checked off the Athens Marathon in true fashion, Toga that is,can't wait to hear about the trip and the run!

Good Luck this week to everyone heading South for the Nashville Marathon and Half Marathon, and to those doing the Drumstick Dash here at home and Hoffin it 5k in Henderson, always a great race, very competitive and a good tune up for Thanksgiving.

This week we'll head West, staying away from Garvin Park for a couple more weeks as they prepare for Fantasy of Lights and try to avoid the Drumstick Dash, below are a couple options which you choose from or even cut short if needed for those in the taper.

Saturday, November 7th

A big race weekend it turned out to be to kick off the month of November. Congrats to everyone who made the trip to West Virginia for the Marshall Marathon and Half Marathon, the BOR brought home a lot of hardware, or in this case, glassware in the age group placing as well as a few new PR's. 

The BOR also invaded the Big Apple on Sunday for the New York Marathon, Congrats to all who got the chance to run this major, it was great to see all the pictures and can't wait to hear all the stories that the 5 boroughs provides.

Congrats as well to those who ran at home last weekend in the Night Fever Trail run, the Stache Dash and Monster Dash, great way to wrap up October and celebrate Halloween.

Good Luck this weekend to everyone heading to Indy for Monumental Marathon Weekend and to everyone running the Dresses for Dreams 5k at home, the Chilly Hilly in Henderson and Tunnel Hill 10 miler in Illinois.

Below is an Eastsider, 12, 14 & 16 mile option. If you haven't had a chance yet to read Brian's race report for the Mount Desert Island Half make sure you scroll down.
