Wednesday Night Run 9-14-2011

Hello ORC,

Go Team Decatur, Decatur won the ‘Most Fit City’ award at the Kaiser Permanente Corporate 5K, a pat on the back for Decatur and its runners.  Some Decatur events this weekend are CPR training at City Hall which is free for Decatur residents.  The Concerts on the Square continue.  A charity auction for HIV/AIDS is at the Solarium.  In Kirkwood is the Kirkwood Wine Stroll.  There is an architect tour at Emory.  The Atlanta Indie Market continues along with the Festival on Ponce Summer Arts and Crafts Festival.  The 1^st Bluegrass Jam is happening at the Oakhurst Community Garden this Friday night.  There is so much going on this weekend, it’s easy to get 2 handfuls of events to add, even with Decatur/Oakhurst events.

What else is going on?  Want to share?

As the weather gets a little cooler but not cold, there are more races.  So here’s welcoming Fall and all the races that come with it.  A race that is special to me because it is the first road race I ever did is the east Atlanta Strut 5K.  There is the Red Top Mountain Half Marathon in Cartersville.  The Caterpillar Crawl 5K and Butterfly Bolt 10K runs in Brookhaven.  In the Highlands is the Fired Up 5K.  Tucker has 2, the Dekalb Police ‘Beat The Badge’ 5K and the Tucker 5K.    At Lullwater Park is the Run For Research 5K and 10K.  Chastain has the Victory Run 5K.  Grant Park has the Black Tie 5K.  And there are a whole lot more races outside of our local area too.

This Wednesday you are running through the Winnona neighborhood on Route 1.  The run goes through Kirkwood, through McKoy Park, around Winnona, through Agnes Scott, and a long finishing straight on Ansley.  This is one of those runs that has a lot of turns.  Don't despair, it's all in the neighborhood, you can run your way out.  The link to Route 1 is at the bottom of this e-mail.  After the run it's off to Mojo's Pizza for food, drinks and trivia.

Enjoy your run Wednesday night.  Thanks for making the Oakhurst Running Club one of the friendliest running club in Atlanta.
