Hi gang! It has been a while. Yours Truly has taken some time off to get work done at the homestead. But rest assured, we are back with a full slate of goings on. First and foremost, we have the 8th Annual Buffalo Creek Half Marathon coming up October 19. If you've run on this course in the past, you'll know why people keep coming back. Last year we had registration shut down at 1000 runners. This year, we are opening it up to 1250 runners. The volunteers for this "happening" are top-notch. The scenery is beautiful right at the peak of the autumn leaf season. The course is a fantastic point-to-point mostly down hill race on primarily rails to trails. And the post-race goodies and awards should exceed last year's. And of course there will be beautifully designed fully functional commemorative tech tees. Along with finishers' medals. And new this year is a soon-to-be more scenic, less strenuous route off the trail and into Freeport! Registration is limited, and it is filling fast, so please register immediately (http://www.active.com/running/sarver-pa/8th-annual-buffalo-creek-half-marathon-2013). Or we will have printed entry brochures in the near future at Up-N-Running and many other locations.
The Saxonburg Arts Festival is always kind of a last hurrah for Summer, or a first hurrah for Fall. It has hundreds of crafters and artists booths. And lots of goodies! And it kicks off with a beautiful 5K run through the farmland and streets of Saxonburg. The race takes place on Saturday, September 7 at 8:00 AM. Entry forms can be picked up at Up-N-Running or you can sign up on RacerSignup.com. Don't miss the fun!
With Cross Country around the bend, it is a great time to head to the local park or school and watch these young athletes run the hills of Western Pennsylvania. Or better yet, sign up for a local all-comers trail race. You can't beat the cooler, drier weather. And the autumn leaves are fantastic! Lots of local road and trail races out there. Sign up for some!
