Wednesday Night Run 8-1-2012

Hello ORC,

Heading into the first weekend of August, the year is quickly moving along. The Olympics are on now. I am looking forward to the marathon. Outside of the Olympics, the Girl Scouts are putting on a Global Village School Cultural Event at the Decatur Library this Saturday. At the Oakhurst Community Gardens is a class on organic pest control solutions. Cozee Teas presents Impromptu Featuring Ja'Naan on Sunday. What else is going on this week/weekend? Anyone want to share?

A sample of local races this weekend on Saturday August 4. In Warner Robins is the 65th Air Force Anniversary 5K and Half Marathon. In Cartersville is the Dirty Spokes Red Top Mountain State Park 15K/5K Trail Race. Closer to Atlanta are the Atlanta Track Club's Atlanta's Finest 5K, and the geneRACEtion 10K and 2K.

This Wednesday you will be running route 6. There are the challenging hill of Delano, the grind up Rogers, and of course climbing up McClendon. 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.

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

Wednesday Night Run 7-11-2012

Hello ORC,

I am going to try and streamline this email and maybe just post some local events that I pick up from the Decatur focused blogs. And if you have anything to add, please do. Although I am starting off badly because I'm not adding anything. So what is going on this week/weekend?

Here is a sampling of local races this weekend. On Saturday, July 14, are the ATC Decatur-Dekalb 4 miler in Decatur, the Atlanta Beltline Southwest 5K in Atlanta, and the Georgia Games Trail Run 6.25 Mile in Woodstock for you trail runners. On Sunday, July 15, is The Summer Steamer 10K/5K in Kennesaw.

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. After getting out of the hill on Garland, the route runs downhill until climbing Oakview Rd. Then the route continues to climb Howard to a quick downhill on College. Then it's the climb on Wisteria, and a finishing uphill at the shop. 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.

Wednesday Night Run 7-4-2012

Hello ORC,

Happy July 4th! Our Wednesday run falls on the July 4th holiday. I talked to Charles yesterday and he said some folks were running from the shop Wednesday morning. He is opening his doors to runners Wednesday morning at 8am. So if you are interested in running Wednesday morning, he will be at the shop. On Wednesday night, he will be closed. For the streak's sake, someone will be running on July 4th. As for events, hopefully there is no rain and the fireworks will go off as planned on July 4th. Be Safe!

What else is going on? Want to share?

The big day of races is tomorrow, Wednesday, July 4th. After that it is followed by a weekend of rest. Here's a sampling of what's running.
