FLRC Challenge group run on Saturday, 8/24 at 8:30 AM at Campbell Meadow Park

It’s time for the final, fabulous FLRC Challenge group run of the season, and in keeping with our sponsorship from the letter F, it’s the Freeville Fly-In! This 13.1-mile out-and-back course is flat, fast, and fun, and you might get to see planes taking off or landing as you run by the airport. Fantastic, eh?

We’ll meet on Saturday, 8/24, at 8:30 AM at Campbell Meadow Park off Lower Creek Road and start running at 8:45 AM. After the run, we can hang out and socialize with some refreshments. Please park tightly parallel to the road against the east- and west-facing fences for maximal occupancy, and carpool if possible. The alternative parking would seem to be alongside the road further down Lower Creek Road.

If you haven’t yet picked up your purple FLRC Challenge shirt, this is a great opportunity to get it from me. I’ll also have them at the FLRC Annual Picnic on September 19 (RSVP soon!), or you can contact me to arrange a pickup.

Please vote in the pace poll below so others can get a sense of who else will be running their pace. We usually have a wide range of runners.

Great job, everyone, and we did super well at parking efficiently. Special thanks to @meggo for the water stop at the turnaround and to @raenb0 for bringing post-run drinks.
