Does anyone know if you have to sign up for these races ahead of time or could you just show up with a partner and run.

[thecommunist]

I already planned to meet Sam there, but if you just showed up, you could find someone to run with.

[scdistance]

Yeah, Right now I am trying to get one of my teammates to do it with me. Hopefully one of them will.

Does anyone know that they are going to this race.

The next one is a week from Thursday. I usually go, and pair up with anybody there that doesn't have a partner. Usually each week more people come. I think I heard that Flying Feet (Winters Mill) is going to come to the next one.

Good, I'm hoping for some good competition.

By the way is this a cross country race or do you run it on the track.

This was a good race and a lot of fun. I really enjoyed getting back in the racing atmosphere again, and the turn out was great. For those of you that came, good job yesterday. If you didn't come I would totally recommend going to one of these races.
