Note: There has been some problems with the e-mail functioning correctly, so those receiving this by e-mail make sure you scroll to the bottom of each message. There could be more than one post!

I only found three races this weekend, so stay out late and watch some high school football!! On a note about high school, I don’t plan on covering high school and middle school cross country meets. There are just so many events and schools in Central Indiana and it would take a herculean effort to keep up with them all.

That said if you e-mail me updates I will post a summary once a week or you can check out these high school focused sites:

Now for the race info!

ICADV 4th Annual 10K and 5K Race Away From Domestic Violence: A Tenderness Tour Event at the Indiana War Memorial begins at 7:40. This race hosted by Ken Long & Associates benefits the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Weather permitting there will be hot air balloons.

Union Hospital Health Group’s 5K for United Way (pdf) begins at 9am in the Clara Fairbanks parking lot at Union Hospital’s campus in Terre Haute. Proceeds from this 4th annual event go towards the local United Way.

Friends of Seelyville 5K begins at 9am in the small town of Seelyville (near Terre Haute). This looks like a pretty cheap race entry. All proceeds benefit the town’s street fair.

With what looks to be a hot weekend, there are a couple of good races planned. I personally will be at the Popweaver 5K. Not only is it part of the Anderson Road Runners Race Series, but who wouldn’t want a year’s supply of Pop Weaver popcorn??Pop Weaver 5K (pdf) starts at 8:30am in downtown Van Buren. This event is part of the annual popcorn festival and registration is $12.

First Lady Cheri Daniels Heartland Walk for Health is being held in conjunction with the Indiana State Fair. For $7 participate in a wide variety of activities, hosted by Ken Long & Associates. This is not a running event.

Club Kokomo RoadRunners Age Graded 4 Mile (pdf) starts at 8am in Highland Park, Kokomo. This road-race is $15 with 72 awards (not age-group). This event is done a little differently than the POG 8K held recently, but still looks like a great event.

Jeremy Wright Memorial 5K is held at Flat Rock Fire Station in Flat Rock Indiana (southeast of Indy). It starts at 8am.

August 12 Jubilee Days 5K (pdf) starts at 4pm on the Hagerstown Junior/Senior High School Cross Country Course. $15 on race day and participants receive an embroidered bath towel. This event is part of the Wayne County Challenge.
