Saturday, July 30th

Congrats to all participants in the Brew Mile on Friday night, this event may look easy on paper but I speak from a quarter mile of experience in saying that looks are deceiving, and although Team BO(ee)R didn't bring home the trophy, we held our own and look forward to the training needed to take another shot at the title next year.

Congrats also goes out this week to everyone who braved the temps and animals and ran the Mesker Fur & Feathers 5k Saturday morning here at home and the 8 Hour Dream in Indianapolis, unbelievable!

Wednesday Night at Ultimate Fit

See the photos and hear the stories from one of our own, Kevin Gerteisen as he recaps his 3rd Place overall finish of 5:13:33:44 in the Last Annual Vol State 500k (314 miles).

Good Luck this weekend to everyone running the Band on the Run 5k in Warrick Co., and the Owensville Watermelon Run Saturday morning and the USI Night Flight Saturday evening!
