Weekend Races

There are some big races going on this weekend. I hope lots of you get out there to enjoy the days before summer arrives with a vengeance.

Tuesday

• Trey was out in Seattle and took the time to finish 4th in his age group in the Grand Ridge Solstice 5 Miler.  I wonder if he knew the guy ahead of him?  Raleigh takes over the Pacific Northwest!

Friday

• The 16th Annual Army Birthday 10 Miler at Fort Bragg.  I ran this race this morning for the 5th year in a row.  This race attracts a good size crowd, mostly soldiers eager to get their weekend started.  I'd estimate 1,300 runners ran this morning under a beautiful, clear sky.

Saturday

• The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5k happens tomorrow morning on the campus of Meredith College.  I'd estimate 20,000 take part in the events and festivities there.  Packet pick-up and late registration is at Meredith today from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
• The Ninja Challenge happens tomorrow, all day, in Fuquay-Varina with waves every 30 minutes starting at 9:30.  I'm the Super Ninja in the 2:00 wave, so say hi if you see me.  Packet pick-up and late registration (if available) is tonight at North Hills Omega from 4-7.
• The Salvation Army 5k is tomorrow in Asheboro

Sunday

• The Dixi Divas Triathlon is at Northeast Park in Greensboro.
