Spring Updates

Spring is here and the weather is much better now and lots of people are out and about. Just yesterday I drove a little bit and saw 3 people out running where I have never seen people running before. On my own run yesterday, I saw a lot more people out then I have in the past couple of months!! This is very, very exciting. It is just another reason why we can call ourselves Runnington, WV!!!!!

Let me start with some sad news though. One month ago, we lost the treasurer of the Huntington Road Runners Club, Roger Kyle. You could have seen Roger running almost every day at Ritter Park or helping out with road races. He had his hand in almost every road race in our area and he will be greatly missed. There is a race setup in his honor on June 5 at the Barboursville Park. Roger Kyle Memorial 10 Miler and 5K Walk

The WV 5K Championship is set for June 19 and we will set to have one of the biggest and best races in our region! This is a true championship event and it is open to everyone. If you can run a 5K in 14 minutes or want to walk/run it in under an hour, you can come out and experience this championship event and show the nation that we are a fit and active community!
