FLRC Challenge

Conversations about the FLRC Challenge, so those participating have a place to discuss the standings, arrange course run-throughs and throwdowns, and generally hobnob. And so those who aren’t in the Ithaca area don’t have to see our happy fun discussions.

Injuries

In pain or unable to run because of an injury? Looking for advice from other runners, or recommendations to medical professionals? Post your questions and concerns here! This forum is a bit different—rather than a free-for-all that will make it hard to find information in the future, let’s focus most of the discussion by injury. We can edit the first post of each topic to add new information so anyone coming in later can read that one to get started without having to piece together lots of separate posts. For now, I’ll handle this editing.

Print & Post Team

You are welcome on this team, whether for just one race or all of them! Your mission? Print out a flyer for an upcoming FLRC race on a color printer, and tack it up on your favorite bulletin board. You might even curate a corner of a bulletin board to make sure it always has posters for upcoming FLRC events. This is an easy way to support FLRC and keep fellow runners in the loop.
