Hi all! Lots to catch up on. And lots of new things at Up-N-Running. As many of you know, the Eighth Annual Buffalo Creek Half Marathon will take place on Saturday, October 19. The race starts at the Winfield Township Fire Hall, and runs mostly on the Butler-Freeport Rails to Trails into Freeport. This down hill point-to-point half marathon has really taken off! And all for a good cause. The proceeds of this event help to maintain and add onto the current Butler-Freeport Rails to Trails. This year, we have a starter mat, and an additional 250 runners. As usual, yours truly will be the Master of Ceremonies, calling out as many of your names as I can when you are crossing the finish line. It is a blast! Not only for the runners. But for the volunteers as well. And although I’ll be a bit hoarse when it is over, I still get a kick out of the entire ordeal! (One of these days, I plan on running in it! Shhhh……Don’t tell the rest of the volunteers!).
In past years, we have tried to make race packet pickup as seamless as possible. And to an extent, we have done well in that effort. But to make it even easier, we plan on having early pickup on Thursday and Friday (October 17 and 18) here at Up-N-Running. It will be from 10:00 am till 7:00 pm both days. And of course, there will be refreshments and lots of pre-race deals on shoes and apparel!
And you have to see our new L.A.B. Half Marathon shirts! Lazlo will be there to greet everyone. And check out his Breast Cancer Awareness Month bandana!
See you at Buffalo Creek!
