Wednesday Night Run 4-13-2011

Hello ORC,

Yes the outdoor festival season is upon us.  The Sweetwater 420 Fest is this weekend at Candler Park.  There is also the Decatur Business Association Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday morning.  Also on Saturday is the Community Shred Event at 1^st Baptist Church of Decatur.  In Oakhurst on Sunday is the Earth Day Celebration.  And April is Pedestrian Safety Month.

I am only reading about this and it shows how little I drive, but the Big H lot (next to One Step At A Time) is now a $5 pay lot.  Do you park there for our Wednesday night runs?

And with the Sweetwater 420 fest there is also the companion 5K races on Saturday morning.  It’s actually closer to Noon than the morning.  The crowds may be bigger.  After seeing the route, if there was ever a challenging run, this is it.  The net gain on elevation is uphill.  But for hill runners, you are in luck.  There are a couple of other races around town.  As local as it gets, Candler Park and Lullwater Park which is hosting the Emory PA 5K is as close as we can get this weekend.

What else is going on this weekend, care to share?

 

Tomorrow, Wednesday, you will be running route 13.  The route goes up the hard flat of Oakview and hits the hills of Spence/McDonough.  The link to the route is at the bottom of this e- mail.  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.
