Try as it might, the weather was unable to dampen anyone’s spirits this morning. We had a record 520+ runners register and about 450 participants on the course – and no one complained about rain. Everything seemed to go well — plenty of great cheer (thanks to the runners & the volunteers), bagels (thanks Bagel Cafe), water, bananas, and energy bars (thanks GFS), and plenty of door prizes (48 of them! – thanks to all the donors).
Race results will be posted on Speedy Feet shortly, and we will have race photos up with a link as soon as we can corral them.
The few awards and door prizes that were not picked up will be available at Up & Running – we will send e-mails to all that we have addresses for.
Finally, thanks to all of our volunteers, and to every runner that came out to help make this year such a tremendous success. We will be back at this same place next year – see you then hopefully.
More to come via e-mail shortly.
Four hours to go before early registration closes – we are experiencing the heaviest day yet on the website – 91 visits so far and it is still early in the evening.
Thanks for coming out! Weather forecast looks wonderful for this time of year 
If you did not register before the early deadline, … no problem. You can drop into Up & Running anytime this week, or come by Up & Running 4 – 7 pm Friday evening for early packet pickup/signup, or just come to the race Saturday morning. We are glad to have you with us!
Wow! We just received updates from Up & Running regarding additional door prizes from Brooks Running Company, and GFS.
In addition to a $100 GFS gift certificate going to some lucky runner, GFS is donating over 400 bottles of water, over 200 bananas, and a whole bunch of power bars. No one should go away hungry from this event!
Please encourage your friends to come out for a great day, a great time, and to support great causes.
Only early registrants are guaranteed shirts … sign up by March 8th to be sure to get yours!
The average temperature for March 13 is 50 and the historical high was 76, so don’t let the never-ending winter weather we have had so so far dampen your hopes. The current long-range forecast is for a start at about 32, climbing to 50 … perfect running weather and a well-deserved taste of spring.
We have no details yet on the 13th, but the 4th – 8th are expected to be sunny & partially sunny (no precip), so the winter drearies are about to finally break.
Did you notice the daffodils & hyacinth already sprouting in your garden? More evidence spring is upon us.
On-line registration closes Monday, March 8th at midnight! Don’t forget, early packet pick-up is at Up & Running, 6123 Far Hills Avenue (same plaza as DLM), Centerville —come anytime from 4 – 7 Friday afternoon, March 12 and get your race packet or take advantage of early registration.
Get your costume on & come decked out for St. Patrick’s Day. See you then!
We are very excited to announce that the Springboro Adventure Boot Camp for Women is donating a +++ 5 day/week, 4-week session +++ for their boot camp program – a $299.00 value. One of our local runners tells us this program is simply wonderful.
Those whose registrations were received by the end of last night all are in for tech shirts. The first lucky 5 that register today will also get them, but then they are all spoken for. Thanks to all who registered early, and thanks in advance to everyone else that has yet to sign up.
If you haven’t seen the Smiles page yet, enjoy!
The medals are being ordered today for all of you WINNERS.
Assuming the registration rate doesn’t change, it looks like all of the tech shirts will be claimed by about Friday, Feb 12. Isn’t it nice to dream about SPRING when we are encrusted in snow & ice?
By the way, shirt sizing is Men’s, so enter your size accordingly however and whenever you register.
We are at 115 registrations and climbing steadily … still good to go for registrations toward the 150 technical tee-shirts.
