Wednesday Night Run 6-20-2012

Hello ORC,

While I was out on Monday morning, I could not believe the number of runners that were out. I pointed this out to someone and they said the runners are most likely training for the July 4th AJC Peachtree 10K. They are right, there is always an uptick in runners at this time getting ready for the Peachtree. This sounds interesting; this weekend is the Georgia Dachshund races in Marietta. Decatur ghost tours continue. There is a paper dolls art exhibit at 1710 Defoor Av. Like a Purple Haze Across the Land: The Art of Benny Andrews is at 540 Asbury. Decatur is hosting a self-defense and empowerment workshop. 99X is having unplugged in the park. On Monday is the 1st annual lights vs. darks homebrew competition.

What else is going on this week and weekend?

There are not a lot of races this weekend. On Saturday, June 23 at Piedmont Park is the Atlanta Pride Run 5K. While out in Alpharetta is the Summer Break Block Party & 5K. If you are interested in hitting the trails, there is the Dirty Spokes Central Park 5.0/2.5 Mile Trail Running Race in Cumming.

This Wednesday you will be running route 15. It's the Katie Kerr run. There are some nice challenging hills and after making at all the way past the last steep hill and false flats, you finish strongly on the downhill to One Step at a Time. It's one of the few routes that actually has a downhill finish. You can see the map through the link below. 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.

Corny
