RUN RSVP: Fourth of July Weekend

This is frequently a weekend when people are out of town. For this reason, it is difficult to pull off a big group run. Rather than have a set run time, and a set route, I will instead use this blog post for people to share their plans, so we can create some group runs. There are races in Raleigh and Chapel Hill this weekend too.

Keep in mind there are three different days to run, so don't feel like you have to run on Saturday. Monday might be a good option too. So when you post a comment, please let people know (If you are going out of town, please do not post that on the blog).

• What day(s)
• What time
• How far
• How fast

Here are a few other updates for the group. . .

Leadville Marathon - I also wanted to wish "Triple F" luck this weekend at the Leadville Trail Marathon. . The race is at 10,200 feet of elevation. Oh. . . and it climbs to 13,200. In case you are wondering, Rocky Mount is at about 200 feet of elevation. At the aid stations they give out oxygen instead of Gatorade. (Okay, I made that last part up). You can see why this is called the "Race Across the Sky"

Golf Club of Rocky Mount 5k & 10k - If you have not registered yet for the Golf Club races, please try to take time this weekend to sign up. Registration is going very well. We are more than 30 runners ahead of last years pace. With so many Scouts volunteering, we would love to see the RMEC helped to fill the race up early. We also encourage you to give the 10k a try. It is by far the better of the two race courses. Here is all you need to do:

1. Visit the offical race site.
2. Use the discount code RMECMEMBER to save.
3. Pick a Pack/Troop to give a "point" to.
4. Check out the 2010 Award (click to enlarge)
5. Tell your friends!
