Good Afternoon All and Welcome to the Weekend!
Looks like the temperatures are finally starting to cool off a bit!
Just a quick reminder: tomorrow’s run kicks off at 6:30 AM.
We’ll have a modified 4.5-mile route for those (like me!) not doing the full 10 miles, and a water point will be set up along the way.
Looking forward to seeing you out there!
Thanks,
Harris and Calvin
