Hi everyone,

Lastest info on races

RACEWALKING   CALENDAR   2011

 

This is a primary schedule so the members of Abe’s Striders can plan ahead a bit and put together a training schedule for particular race.  Many of the dates have not been set yet by the organizers.  I can update this and send it out again as more information comes available.  Also, let me know of races you know about so I can add them to the list.

 

I think it’s important to identify which ones are judged racewalks, which ones have a walk division with walker awards (but aren’t judged by USATF rules) and which ones are just walkers allowed running races.

 

I also think it would be helpful to note who from our club is going to enter a given race.  That might encourage others to take part.  So let me know if you are planning to be in a certain race, and I’ll note that on updated lists.

Subject: Boys Club 5k in St. Louis August 27th, 9am

 

 

Below is the link for the upcoming Boys Club 5k in St. Louis.    A reminder, this is the race that has a separate race walking division with very nice trophies and ribbons.  Brent, Lin, and I competed last year.  Very fun event.  The 5k route cruises through the historic Soulard Neighborhood just south of downtown St. Louis.
