This weekend is another good one for racing. You’ve got a variety of locations and a couple different distances and/or organizations to support!!

I will be running the 28th Annual Buzzards Roost 10K. Despite the evening start time, its a well organized race, and age-group winners get Runner’s Forum gift certificates. Not to mention its part of the Anderson Road Runner’s Road Race Series.

So without further ado:

9th Annual Firecracker 5K (pdf) this 5K race is on a USATF certified course in Columbus, IN.

Carefree Crocodiles 5k Run/Walk and 1Mile Fun Run located in Greenwood, you get the chance to run with and support the Crocodiles (Carefree’s Swim Team!).

10th Annual Race for Grace 5K located in Logansport, all proceeds from this race benefits the Lazarus Fest, a ministry of Calvary Presbyterian Church.

Fishers Freedom Festival 5K is possibly one of the cheapest races at $5 for the 5K. Part of the Fisher’s Freedom Festival (obviously) all proceeds benefit the Roy Holland Memorial Fund and the Roy Holland Backpack for Kids program.
