If the weather is warm and dry, I'll probably go for a bike ride with Around Town Bike group. If it's rainy or cold, I'll run the Hanover race. I probably won't decide until that morning. |

Gloria and I are planning to go to Hanover Twp. Saturday morning races work best for us and we're fairly close so the drive isn't bad. Always enjoy doing these small races put on by the high school or college kids for a worthy cause. |

The course is basically the high school cross country course. It's mostly grass and trails with a few spots where you cross over pavement. Theres really only 2 decent sized hills in the course. The entire course will be marked including the mile marks. |

How many runners are you expecting?? |

I'm hoping to have around 60-70 runners, but the more the merrier, and more runners means more proceeds for the Special Olympics. So tell your friends and I hope to seeing a lot of people there. |

Johnny and his coach did a really nice job with the race. It was well organized, the course was well marked and there was plenty of water at the end. The course was scenic and moderately challenging, not boring like runing the levee in Kirby Park. |

I would also like to thank everyone who came out and supported the Special Olympics and helped my athlete make his senior project a success. I also want to thank those who complimented us on the race, it's always nice to hear you've done a good job. coach Daubert |
