Fall is here at last! And running season is in full swing – from the Chicago Marathon (congratulations, Donnie Cowart for finishing 37th out of 40,000 runners!) to Moonlight Madness, Salem Lake and the Ardmore Rah, races have kept us busy.
October 11 saw the final race in the 2022 $5K races, and we had an impressive collection of runners of all levels compete. Just five months until we can start the 2023 edition.
We hosted two social runs: A breakfast run with Omega Sports in September and a social run at The Playground on October 22.
And after being delayed slightly by a hurricane, we had a hardy crew join in our quarterly Hanes Park cleanup on October 8.
What’s next? Plenty!
