spacer (1K)

Last year we were able to raise a nice chunk of change for our favorite children's charity, NO MORE VICTIMS with the Memorial Day Classic Half-Marathon, 5K & Kids Mile. We'll be back at it again in 2011 on Memorial Day, May 30th for a re-run of a very important event for us. Registration is now open at Striders or www.stridersrunning.com

APRIL SPOTLIGHT RUNNER and UPCOMING RACES
spacer (1K)

We're all very lucky to have a hospital like McKay Dee in our community. What's really rare is to have a world class hospital as involved in the community like McKay Dee is in ours. Our April Runner Spotlight, Jeremy Holt, spends a lot of his time giving back as a public relations officer for Intermountain Health's McKay Dee hospital. Jeremy has been the race director for The Classic 10k & 5K since it moved to Layton several years ago. He's also very involved in supporting Weber Pathways, the Ogden Marathon and Striders own Winter Racing Circuit. As a runner; Jeremy has some wheels: he can clock in at about 17minutes in a 5K, 90mintes in a half marathon, 3 hours in a full marathon and he finished the XTERRA Triathlon in 4 hours and some change. Jeremy is a man of many talents; not only is he the RD for The Classic but he designs the T-shirts and all the advertising material too. Jeremy is a great community ambassador and not a bad runner either. You can read all about him at www.stridersrunning.com

The Winter Racing Circuit 30K is coming up next Saturday, April 23rd at 7:30am at the Red Moose Lodge in Eden (Ogden Valley).  If you're registered, packet pick-up will be Thursday & Friday, April 21st & 22nd at STRIDERS from 10am-7pm. If you're not registered you can still get into the race by registering at STRIDERS or the morning of the race at the Red Moose. The 30K is a loop course; so no busses. The race will start and end at the Red Moose. At the end of the race; awards will be given out for those runners who competed in all 5 WRC races. We're counting on good weather for this one; so if you're planning on running the Ogden Marathon; the 30K is the perfect tune-up race.

 

The WRC 30K is Easter weekend; how cool would it be to spend Easter at the Red Moose Lodge. Now is the best time to book your stay for the WRC 30K. Call 801-745-6667 and ask for the special runners' rate for those two races as well for the Ogden Marathon.


The Ogden Marathon is a few shorts weeks away, May 21st (www.ogdenmarathon.com). Hopefully you're training is going well; there's still a couple of long runs left before it's time to taper down. Look for STRIDERS at the marathon expo May 20th for exclusive "stuff" you'll only find at the expo. So, if even you didn't get into the race, it's still worth coming to the Union Station in Ogden to check out all the cool stuff - it's the running event in Utah. There's always a need for volunteers too; we love ?em, can't do anything without ?em.

The Gerald Anderson Memorial 5K is scheduled for June 11th in Morgan. We'll have all the details soon; but this is the fastest, most fabulous and most competitive 5K in Utah. Don't miss is. Registration will open soon at www.strideracing.com and at STRIDERS

 

Calling all trail runners, mountain goats and wolverines - did you know wolverines will cover terrain mountain goats won't even consider. It's true; look it up.baaa. Anyway, the Northern Utah Trail Series (NUTS) www.northernutahtrailseries.com is in full swing after the Buffalo Run and Gib Wallace10K, but there's still lots of trail to cover. The next race is June 11th at Wolf Mountain (5K or 10K) followed up with the 2nd annual FULLY NUTS TRAIL ½ MARATHON on July 16th. Check the website for details. Registration forms are at Striders or online at www.ultrasignup.com 

 

Morgan has a marathon! Here are some of the details:

 

Come make your mark in the Inaugural Morgan Valley Marathon, Half Marathon or 5K on Saturday July 30th 2011! This is the one you've been waiting for! Located in the mountains just 20 miles out of Ogden up Weber Canyon (I-84). 

The course loops through the beautiful Morgan Valley; beginning and ending at the Morgan County Fairgrounds. MVM has everything you want in a race: beautiful scenery, a gentle (not too hilly) course, happy- helpful volunteers, great prizes and the most awesome schwag bag ever! Not to mention the cool finishers medal and tech shirt! Don't miss out on this one! For more information and to register visit www.morganmarathon.com

Registration for the BAIRGUTSMAN is now open! Registration forms are available at www.stridersrunning.com, you can also register at STRIDERS or online at www.strideracing.com What is the BAIRGUTSMAN you say? The GUTSMAN is a chopped down version of a mountain race. There are no cheerleaders along the course; there aren't aid stations, bathrooms, photographers, and GU or pace groups. The race will start and you're on your own until you get to the top of a big hill and then half way down Farmington Canyon. It's just you battling the elements; the elements being gravity, water, heat, rocks, really big rocks, sticks, really big sticks, ferns, spiders, snakes, a few angry bees and maybe a hungry mountain lion. You're probably going to get cut, stung and scrapped up a bit, but it's all in good fun. There have been no documented "deaths" during the GUTSMAN, but we're still looking for a few people from the 1987 race. The mantra from gutsman runners is CONQUER THYSELF; it takes guts, man. The day of reckoning is August 6th.

Have a great week!
