Week to the Weekend to the Races!

Here we go.. all the stuff going on this week.. and weekend, that I'm aware of!

Tuesday 6pm:  Join Mason and crew at Chester Woods park for a fantastic night on the trails.  Looks like about a 5 mile jaunt. Meet at the horse trailer parking lot, and go check out the new spring foliage! 

Wednesday 5:30pm:   Track Workout on the track in Byron.  Located behind the middle school, on 4th street.  Come on out and get some speed on!

• Note:  Starting next week, May 2nd... Team R.E.D. and Tri-Rochester are combining our track workouts.  We'll alternate between Byron & Rochester (with the May 2nd being on the track in Byron). This will give us more opportunity to ensure runners from both clubs have runners in all ability/speed levels to connect with others for a great speed session.   Should be a great partnership!    

Thursday 6pm:   Team R.E.D. gathers at Bob's Smoke Stack Ribs.   They know we're coming, and happy to host us!   Again $6 pitchers of beer.. and the area up top will be reserved at 6pm, so if you want to leave anything at those tables, you are free to do so.  
Saturday 7:15am:  The marathon training RAC run is set for 17 miles.... see the post below for a way to include a portion of this run, yet participate in a fundraiser in Byron!
Saturday 8:50am:   It's the 3rd Annual Beefcake, Cheesecake, Cupcake, for Pete's Sake, Pancake run for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. (JDRF).   See details below, as to how you can run 7 miles and participate or how you might run 14, 16 or even 20!

The 3rd Annual Beefcake, Cheesecake, Cupcake, for Pete's sake, Pancake run for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) will depart from the RAC at 8:50 AM this Saturday morning April 28th and finish 7 miles later at the Bears Den in Byron within plenty of time to enjoy the JDRF breakfast. There will be a water stop 1/2 way in between and rides back to the RAC will be provided after the JDRF breakfast. You can make this run 7 miles.. or more! For folks wanting more miles you can run with the RAC group at their normal 7:15 start time to their 1st designated waterstop at Silver Lake and either return directly for a 7 mile loop or lap Silver Lake along with the other RAC runners that day for a 9 mile loop. These RAC loops combined with the run to Byron would give you either a 14 mile or a 16 mile total run. Additionally if you wanted to get a 20 mile run that morning, you can front load 4 miles prior to the RAC run by starting at 6:30 and then hooking up with the RAC runners at their normal start time. What ever is your preference, just join the group at 8:50 for the 7 mile "flat" run to the Bears Den. ********************************************* Here's a listing of some of the local races coming up!  More details to follow on these are they clip closer.     May 5th 8am:  Spring Classic 15K, 5K & Melby Kids Run!   May 12th 9am:  Hayfield Fire Dept Fun Run/Walk 8K, 5K & 1.2 Mile kids run!
