A beautiful fall morning with temperatures in the mid-60’s setup an excellent morning for any\u00a0running event.\u00a0 After\u00a0navigating around the closed and partially closed streets of downtown Indianapolis (several events were occurring in the area)\u00a0to avoid having to\u00a0pay for parking we enjoyed an otherwise flawless event.<\/p>\n

This was my first Tuxbro<\/a> managed event and I was very pleased with the whole thing.\u00a0 The event was the Turn Up the Volume to BLAST Ovarian Cancer<\/a> with all proceeds benefiting\u00a0Ovar’Coming Together<\/a> a \"\"local Ovarian Cancer awareness organization. Over\u00a0$18,000 was raised\u00a0by participants in the 4 mile run, 3 mile walk and 1 mile walk.<\/p>\n

All\u00a0three events began and\u00a0ended at\u00a0Victory Field which is a great venue for a race and for sports fans in general.\u00a0 We were not allowed on the field but\u00a0could walk through the\u00a0seats and be right next to it.<\/p>\n

The 4 mile course began with an out\u00a0and back down West St before heading towards Circle Center, then turning to go past the RCA\u00a0Dome.\u00a0 The rest of the course was through the industrial area just west of downtown making a big square.\u00a0 The 3 mile walk was the same course minus the first little out and back and the 1 mile walk was the first little out\u00a0and back only.\u00a0 The entire event was staged so that no\u00a0group interfered with another and the 1 milers\u00a0were\u00a0still finishing when I finished.\u00a0 The run was the only scored event and racing chips were used!<\/p>\n

Overall the course was flat with a couple of small grades that wouldn’t be noticeable in a car, these were mostly going under the railroads and then coming back up onto\u00a0the road near Victory Field.\u00a0 The course had 2 water stops, although the second one was setup but the volunteers were just leaning against the wall.\u00a0 I’ve been told that at events like this it is the job of the sponsor (Ovar’Coming) to train the volunteers.\u00a0 No worries since I didn’t\u00a0want water at the end because I was being chased\u00a0down and didn’t want to slow up.<\/p>\n

I was very pleased\u00a0with my overall race. I had no expectations coming into it since I had just had a season PR at the Thursday night races.\u00a0 I wanted to come out and push a little bit so I was excited to have ran a 25:44 (6:26) with mile splits being 6:12, 6:18, 6:38, and 6:34.\u00a0\u00a0This placed me 12th overall and 3rd in my age group! Fellow Anderson runner Mitch Novy won the event in 21:18 (5:19) much to his surprise.\u00a0 He received a gift certificate to the Athletic Annex.<\/p>\n

The overall festival type event was designed to raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer and to honor survivors of the 5th deadliest form of cancer in women.<\/p>\n
