This is another busy racing weekend with eight different options across the region! I probably would not race this weekend, but since I am in the Anderson Road Runner’s Road Race Series I am going to make the short trip to Lapel to run their race.Also a special note that the All-Star Cross Country Camp begins on Sunday.

Hope you had a great 4th of July celebration.  I’ll post race results from yesterday and this weekend on Tuesday!

 

Only one race wanted to be on this special day! Maybe all the race directors are busy attending weddings on this supposedly sought after wedding day.  I’ll actually be in a wedding, hopefully logging some miles on mountainous trails of Kentucky!!

 

The race: Clay City’s 2nd Annual Mayberry Classic 5K (pdf) is located at Goshorn Park in Clay City, IN.  This is down near Terre Haute and is helping raise money for the Clay City Center for Family Medicine.  The Center is part of the Lugar Center for Rural Health.

 

Good luck!


Race Results from June 30

Here is a quick roundup of results from the weekend.

Haynes-Apperson 4 mile race was won by Kyle Walsh of Kokomo in 20:33 (5:09). It was a competitive field with BJ Needler of Wabash coming in second in 20:40 (5:10) and local favorite, Andy Prieshoff running 23:06 (5:47) to finish 8th. The top female was 14 year-old Waverly Neer from Russiaville with a time of 24:22 (6:06). Two hundred and forty-four participants completed the 4 mile road race, while eighty-four completed the 3 mile walk. Greg Callahan, Muncie, won the walk in a time of 30:12 (10:04) and Mary Miller of Bunker Hill won the female division in 31:58 (10:40). Since they posted the fun run results I’ll highlight them: Carl Christianson, 16 won, but may have been pacing Heidi Freeman, 12 of Kokomo; they both finished in 5:39. Quite impressive Heidi!

The Summer Scamper 4 Miler with eighty-two participants was won by Ramon Chairez in 23:38 (5:54) and the female winner was Carla Yerkes who ran a 27:40 (6:55) to place tenth. Ramon was in the 15-17 age group and Carla the 45-49.

Why Aren’t You Racing This Weekend?

With 9 races to choose from this weekend, every runner should be out there hitting the pavement! Races range from the 5K to a half-day relay and support a variety of causes including domestic violence, Lion’s Club, and church ministries! Its a smorgasbord of running.

I plan on racing this weekend although I haven’t decided for sure where yet. I think if my wife wasn’t working we’d go down to the Englishton race and enjoy the festival. Maybe I’ll end up in Hartford City, I could use a fast 5K right now.

Here we go:

Hawthorn Half-Day Relay teams or individuals run for half the day around Hawthorne Park in Terre Haute. There is no race-day registration for this event.

Doughboy 5K in Bloomington, IN.

Laufenfest 2007 5K this 5K is actually in southern Indiana near Evansville, but looks pretty cool.

Father’s Day Four is on the southeast side of Indy. This event is hosted by Tuxbro all proceeds benefit the Calvary Christian School‘s campaign to build a new playground.

29th Annual Flora Hog Jog located in Flora, IN just of SR 18. This event includes a 10K and a 2Mi run. They even have a runt run for kids and free Pork Burgers afterwards!

Englishton Park 5K Run and Walk located near Lexington, IN in conjunction with the Old Settlers Celebration. This race is also called the Captain’s Romp and includes lots of “era-appropriate” ideas such as a muzzle loader starting the race. Profits benefit Englishton Park’s Summer Children’s Program.

Domestic Violence Network’s 4th Annual Together We Stand 8K Run & 5K Family Walk located at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis with all proceeds benefiting the Domestic Violence Network.
