I am going to add the VCTC Summer 5k Cross Country Series to my race schedule this year.
Every other Thursday, starting May 21, the Van Cortland Track Club holds a 5k (as of now, my work schedule only has me traveling for one of the Thursdays) for only $5. I have run this 5k course before, as part of a 15k trail run, and enjoyed it.
I think it will be a new, fun way to get some fast running under my legs as I build mileage towards a fall marathon.
The VCTC races are great. A real mix of folks and speeds. And a very good way of getting in some speed before the fall season. Age group awards: carrot cake! But it's not a course that anyone "enjoys." It's more one to experience.
ReplyDeleteOne of the races is also a fun 2 X 2 relay up Cemetery Hill. That's one to enjoy.
