Hello ORC,
I totally missed Earth Hour this weekend. We were out to dinner and didn’t even have a chance to look around the neighborhood to see if people participated. This past weekend was the Tour Decatur race which had a nice route through the Hibernia and Lenox neighborhoods. There were a lot of runners racing. I haven’t found the winning times. One cool thing to notice was that I had thought there was only the Oakhurst Track Club at Oakhurst Middle School. I find out just by watching the race, there is a Track Club at the other middle schools in Decatur. This was a very kid friendly run; lots of future runners running.
If you are interested in pizza tonight Decatur PD has 3 officers riding in the 2011 Police Unity Tour a 300 mile bike ride from New Jersey to Washington DC in May to raise awareness of Law Enforcement Officers who have died in the line of duty and funds for the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial and Museum. They will be serving pizza at Avellino’s from 4-10. Avellino’s will be donating back a percentage of sales to the Unity Tour. The event supports a local business and a great cause. Eat up!
Just in case you missed all the signage all around town, WrestleMania is this weekend. If you want smaller name wrestling, there is always Platinum Championship Wrestling at the Academy Theatre.
What else is going on? What events would you like to share?
There is not much on the race calendar this weekend. I saw a race in Marietta, Knock Out Cancer 5K, and a Dirty Spokes trail race in Woodstock. A couple of races here and there but nothing local; last weekend was a busy race weekend. Some other race news is Decatur won 2nd place during the GA Publix Marathon Neighborhood Challenge Cheering Zone, Division 2 – Marathon Course.
This Wednesday you will be running route 8, the East Lake Golf Course run. The link to the route is at the bottom of this e- mail. It's one of the oldest as in longest running routes I know of for the group. If there is a 5-mile race to be run, this would make a great route with the exception of maybe taking out the uphill on Garland Av. After the run, it's off to Mojo's Pizza for food, drinks and trivia.
Thanks for making the Oakhurst Running Club one of the friendliest running club in Atlanta.
