Can't find anything to do on Haloween? Why not jump in a Race or two?

There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE to not get out and run a race this weekend. There are so many opportunities that some may have to be careful not to do too much!!

Let's Start with Halloween morning.

Get Fit For Jesus 5K
Ricki Smith is hosting the Get Fit For Jesus 5K at 10:00 AM in the Barboursville Park. (Complete Event Info) This looks to be a good race and for a good cause. If you support this race, you can help send Ricki to the other side of the world on a mission trip. How cool is that? Plus the course is really flat and is a great opportunity for some good times.

WV Cross Country State Championship
We also have the WV Cross Country State Championship at Cabell Midland High School. The Cabell Midland Boys are the favorite but it will be a very interesting and sloppy race. There are no opportunities for the general public to race but if you are a fan of running, then I highly suggest coming and watching 4 races with the best runners in the state.

Halloween Evening:

We have two races that encourage people to dress up as they have awards for the most creative costume.

Halloween Hustle Night 5K Race

(Owingsville, KY)

Haloween Sooktacular 5K

(Hurricane, WV)

AND FINALLY if that wasn't enough, the Marshall University Marathon is on Sunday morning!!

This event has everything from a walk, a 13-mile 3-person relay, a Half-Marathon, to the Full Marathon. Over 1,000 athletes normally compete in this event. The great thing about this race is that it finishes inside the Marshall Stadium!!

So if you want to run, you have to look hard for an excuse not to race this weekend. If you don't want to run, come out to one of the many events and have a good time cheering on the runners!

Hopefully we will see you out there! Keep on Running!!
