THANK YOU…..Big Thanks to everyone that came out on Saturday morning and brought with them donations for our annual food drive, it was our biggest turn out in the seven years, on a morning that everyone could have easily stayed home with the weather we had, Thank you to Shari for the route and Thank You to Curt and the Ultimate Fit Family for hosting and providing door prize's and restrooms.






Best of Luck to everyone running the Turkey Day 5k, always a fast morning. Also Good Luck to everyone running the Run With The Yeti in Evansville and the Ugly Sweater Run in Owensboro on Saturday.

Saturday, November 18th




Some of the coldest running weather yet did not stop those from kicking off the Turkey Trot Season on Saturday, Congrats to everyone that took part in the Annual Drumstick Dash downtown, it didn’t stop some from running all night either, Congrats to those who took part in the Tunnel Hill Ultra race Saturday/Sunday, and the Rock n' Roll Las Vegas, some very impressive runs.












Best of Luck this weekend to those running the Opioid Awareness Run in Evansville, the Turkey Day 5 Miler in Owensboro and the Flying Monkey Marathon in Nashville.



Saturday, November 18th will be our 7th Annual 5Kan Food Drive and our third  year as a multi group effort, as always there is No Entry Fee, No T-shirt, No Bib, No Chip Timing, in fact there is not even a 5K distance, but there is a chance to brighten the Holidays for a few families.

Bring your kan goods (or other non-perishable food items) to the Saturday run and enjoy a morning run with goods friends
