Memorial Day 5K Map

Is there a map for this race? I have run it just once, years ago and do not remember the course very well. I do recall (I think) zigging and zagging through the old city cemetery at the end.

Hi (and a question)

Mon, 20 May 2013 22:18:08 GMT

Hello all! I recently joined the Striders to hopefully get out and meet some new people. I live in the downtown Nashville area. I have run 6 half marathons, 1 full marathon, and 17 miles of this past April's CMM. The rain had a huge impact on my hips and my left hip gave out at 15 (I hobbled to mile 17). I'm currently training for the Women's half in September, the I Run For The Party Nashville half in November and the full CMM next April.

I have a question though... I registered with the Striders almost 2 weeks ago and still haven't gotten my card. I'm hoping to get it soon so I can register for some races (plus I need some new gear!). Any idea how long it should take to get my membership stuff?

Thanks!!!

Youth Cross Country in Middle TN

Nashville Youth Athletics is proud to announce our first season of youth cross country in the middle-TN area. We will be hosting an 8-week, 6-meet season for grades 3-8 this fall, starting early September. Registration is now open and will remain so until August 25th. Following state guidelines, the Elementary Division (grades 3-5) will compete over 1 mile and the Middle School Division (grades 6-8) will compete over 2 miles. The season will culminate at the Middle TN sectional championships, where individuals will be able to qualify for the Elementary and Middle School state championships on October 19th in Knoxville, TN.

Athletes will compete at many of the Nashville area's most beautiful parks with true cross country settings. Registration is $42 for the season (less than most road races) and athletes can register as individuals or part of a school based team.

About the Brad Coleman Cancer Foundation

The loss our youngest son Brad to testicular cancer made us realize the need for the education about this type of cancer. We had never heard about the importance of self exam for testicular cancer. We had no clue that anything was wrong with him until it was too late. We started this foundation in his honor to get the word out about the importance of self exam as well as what to look for when doing the exams.
We provide an educational video that shows how and when to perform the exams as well as what to look for. We also provide shower hangers the serve as a reminder to do the exams. This program is provided free of charge. We have placed this program in 130 schools so far and have placed it with our local Boy Scout Troops.
Testicular cancer awareness has to be brought to the forefront. This cancer is 95% cure able if caught early there is no need for anyone to succumb to this disease just because it was caught to late. Breast cancer has been in the spotlight for years which has saved thousands of lives through early detection. Our hope is that one day there will be as much attention brought to testicular cancer early detection as there has been for breast cancer. Our foundation also provides funding to families that have children afflicted with cancer. The funding is to be used for travel and lodging expenses as they seek treatments for their child. We have helped or are continuing to help numerous families some of them have been referred to us by the American Cancer society. We know first hand what it is like to worry about how to get funds to travel and pay for a place to stay while your sick child is getting treatments far away from home. We wanted to be able to provide these families with much needed support. As we well know from trying to get help there just isn’t many places to turn to for help. This is why we are so passionate about helping these families

Please come out and help us support the Brad Coleman Cancer Foundation

Cheatham WMA 20k/5k

Thu, 09 May 2013 17:41:19 GMT

Hello all, I'm working on putting together a charity race September 28th in the Cheatham WMA. All of the funds raised will go to support the Martha O'Bryan Center and the TWRA($5 from each registration will go to TWRA and Martha O'Bryan gets he rest). There will be a 5k and 20k and it's $25 for either distance. The 5k is out and back on the main fire road and the 20k is about 50/50 trails and fire roads. The trails are pretty rugged and make for a pretty challenging 20k. If you're interested in running or volunteering I'd love to hear from you. To learn more about the race checkout Cheathamrun.com.

Running resources for children?

Wed, 08 May 2013 21:17:24 GMT

Our elementary school has completed its running club for the school year, and some parents are asking for other opportunities for their children to get involved in running events. I have given them the link to the race calendar. Some parents are not runners themselves, and are wondering if there are any groups that do weekly or regular groups runs where children can participate.

Do you know of anything? I have a few 7-9 year olds who can run 1-3 miles and would like to keep at it over the summer.

Mountain Air-August. COLORADO

Fri, 03 May 2013 12:19:41 GMT

Well, I have signed up for 3 races in Colorado in August. Ranger Billy is likely to do the same. We are going out there for the Pike's Peak Ascent and Marathon. That will be on the 17th and 18th. Ranger Billy has signed up for BOTH!! I am just doing the Ascent. There is still room to sign up for the first wave of the ascent if you have done a sub 1:40 half marathon in the past 3 years.

To prepare we are going to also do the Hunky Dory half marathon on the 10th in Breckenridge and the Leadville Trail 100 10k on the 11th. (read that carefully) We will try to spend as much time over 10,000 feet as we can in the week before Pike's Peak to get ourselves ready for the low oxygen environment. We are planning to try to summit Quandry Peak, and hopefully also Torrey's Peak and maybe also Gray's Peak in the Front Range. Depending on conditions we may raft some white water also. If you haven't done this before and would like to join us for this send me an IM or email and I will give you more details. We are hoping to rent a condo or a vacation house in Breckenridge to use as our launching pad for a lot of activities in the area for that week and if someone wants to cost share I will rent a larger 4 bedroom villa or even a larger one. Let me know.

When you get back you will clock some awesome (superlative used cautiously) 5K times due to your altitude training.

CMM Half times wrong?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:23:21 GMT

A lot of people have mentioned in various running forums that the official finishing times for the half marathon were substantially faster (by up to a full minute) than watch times.

Anyone know anything about this? Were the mats in the wrong place or something?

I am going down for this 10K. Anyone run it before. Anyone else going. Looks like it has some tradition. Awards go 5 deep and there is money (not for me.) Etry fee is still only $25 with a service charge. And you can select which type of shirt you want, mesh or smooooth.
