Anyone sign up?

Never run this one but I need some motivation to get my training back up.

In for the half!

If you've got questions let's hear them. Plenty other folks have run the race as well

I can't run anymore after a hip replacement, but it's a great race, great cause, and very well run. Train hard and enjoy.

My son and I ran the 10K last year, and will likely run it again this year. It was really fun, well organized, etc. Definitely recommend!

Looks like I'm signing up for the half. Got an airbnb since it's an away game

Think I am going to sign up for the 10k. Like you I need a good reason to train. My running has really fallen off the last couple of years. First "training run" was not a fun experience!

I always ran my races like I took my PE classes - Pass/Fail.

In for the 10k.

I loathe the half course though. RD has heard me call him evil for including every possible BCS hill into that course, lol.

Well cross me off the list. Solidly sprained my ankle Saturday and I don't think I'll be in half or even 10k shape by October considering my PT absolutely no running for another week and then probably 4 weeks of really slow recovery. Really sad that the race won't allow for deferrals.

Solidly on the fence here still. I have a few weeks to decide I guess before the price jumps up again. I am NOT a runner, so a 10k would be the farthest ive run in about 10 years since "running" a half marathon.

Been working through a 10k training program and so far it has been pretty good, but almost all runs have had walk breaks. Only a few have been timed runs with no walking but they have been pretty easy. Next week I start the solid running every run with no breaks, so we will see how that goes, then decide. My goal would be to approach 60 min so it isnt like I am trying to break land speed records here!

My son and I signed up for the 10K. My son is a HS XC runner and he beat me (first time at that distance) the last time we ran a 10K together.

But I still hold the family 'record' at 10K (for now, which he can easily beat if he wants).
