We had 14 runners and 8 walkers this past week!  Ugh! I had to mark the 3k course in Bellair this evening because I won’t be able to do it early tomorrow morning but I fear that the heavy rain may wash all my markings away. So, The keys are: the start is at our usual place and the 3K is at the fire hydrant on your right just as you’re heading up that shorter hill right before the pond. Sorry I won’t be there to show you and cheer you on. |
