October Events

Well September disappeared quickly!  I've got a couple ideas for MoTab Run Club this month.  I'm going to plan on the Riverton, Utah Great Pumpkin Race, October 23.  Its on a Friday night and is a night run.  If we register in groups of 3 its only 15 each (otherwise its 25 per person).  It includes a shirt and a finishers medal.  Let me know if you want to get registered.  To find the registration page, you have to search for activities, Race Series, Great Pumpkin Race. http://www.slco.org/recreation/jlsorenson/raceSeries/Great_Pumpkin_5K.html 

The other race I've always done for Halloween is the Running Scared 5K or 10K, October 31.  Its out in Herriman and it just runs through a neighborhood-but there's a nice carnival for families and costumes are encouraged.  Shirts and medals are included, but its a bit spendy at 25.00 per adult (10% off coupon code right now, RSem215).   http://www.runningscaredrace.com/

Our next event August 22

MoTab Runclubbers...we have our next event coming right up!  Saturday, August 22 we'll participate in the U of U's Run in Rhythm 5K.  Its a FREE event--but you do need to register.  Register ASAP--they run out of t-shirts if you wait til the last minute.  The run is on the U of U campus, so its guaranteed to have some uphill.  As a bonus, there is a free health fair after the run.  Holly Abel and her husband are big fans of this event, so Holly is going to be our group's "point person"  look for her before the race for some inspirational stickers for your race bib and take a photo.

Running on Tour

Lots of running happened on our 2 week tour... great job Run Club!

Its probably time for another event.  There is a free 5K on July 24 in Provo...the Temple to Temple 5K.  Anyone down in Utah County want to be the "host" for any in our group who want to attend?

Another possible event is the Taylorsville Triathalon on August 8...a super beginner event that is $15 per person.   Anyone want to branch out beyond running?

There's a great free event at the U of U, the Run in Rhythm on August 22...I've done that one (as have Camille and Holly)--who wants to be the "host" on that one?

New York

There have been lots of folks asking about running in Central Park while we are in NYC.  Since everyone will have their own plans in NYC, their own schedules and their own run pace, we'll keep this a bit more casual.   Common sense says that you should always go out with someone else (and tell folks where you are going and when you plan on being back). 

The Marriott Marquis is about 1 mile from the Columbus Circle corner of the park , which is pretty much a straight shot up 7th Ave.  The Central Park folks have lots of info on their website about running paths (the expected direction you should run, right of way etc...) 

If you were to run the perimeter of the park, its about 6 miles--but you could do shorter or longer runs.  Here are some running routes a NYC run group posted.

So, I suggest that you start looking at the map, looking at your schedule and make a comment below about what you are hoping to do/when to see if there are others who want to do the same thing as you!
