Saturday, May 27th


A sticky start to the warmer weather on Saturday with more to come I’m sure, Congrats to those who took the SWAT Challenge on Saturday and the Otters Run on Sunday in Evansville and those who ran the Cellcom Marathon in Green Bay and the Run for the Red Marathon in Pennsylvania. A big Congrats also this week to Hannah Sale on her 2nd place Regional finish in the 1600 meters, sending her to State on June 3rd, Good Luck Hannah!



Best of Luck this week to everyone running the Run Victoria 5/10K in Newburgh on Saturday and the Red Hawks Memorial Day 5k and Memorial Day Run 5/10K on Monday in Evansville, and those heading to Oak Ridge TN for RUTS!




Memorial Day weekend and warmer temps can only mean one thing, time to move those running clocks back, or at least the start time, 6:00 am Start this weekend from the Downtown YMCA, Westside route below for those interested, cut back as needed, North Main could still be a little dicey so be careful, or another option would be Read Street (alongside Deaconess).
