Hi, everyone! 

What a wonderful way to bring in spring with one of the nicest weather weekends of the year. 

It’s 10 Miler week and I’ve been busy working on the new course over at Foxfield. I think most everyone is going to like it, as I’ve tried to make each loop different from the previous so as to keep it interesting and to lessen the hills. Miles 1, 5 and 9 are the fastest, with miles 2 and 6 being the toughest.    

I do hope many of you will consider joining us as either a racer (or just wanting to run the course to support the cause) or volunteer. It’s not too late to sign up to run or volunteer at this special edition of this iconic community event. Sure, the grass will slow you down a bit (my guess is about 20-30 seconds/mile) but there are less big hills and it’s SO peaceful and beautiful! Come join us!

If you are racing, I’d suggest moving your starting time to as early as possible, because it looks like it’s going to be unseasonably warm on Saturday (or move to Sunday when it’s going to be cooler). 
And please feel free to text or stop by to go over your game plan. 

And while we’re talking about the 10 Miler, it’s the next stop of the RaceFest series. Over 450 folks have participated in the series thus far, with many of our crew sitting at or near the top in the overall age group standings.

We now have the dates set for the next two events (after the 10 Miler) in the series:

-Run for Autism 2 Miler (beautiful new trail course) Saturday April 17
https://runsignup.com/Race/VA/Charlottesville/VIArun

-BBBS 5K and 10K (our usual wonderful Free Union Farm gravel road courses) Saturday May 8 

Happy Birthday to Jay T., who celebrates on Friday!

I hope to see all of you next weekend.

Happy Running, 

Coach Mark
