Lots of excitement building for this Sunday’s Omaha Corporate Cup. I’m signed up but have opted to not run after this morning’s Geezer 5K revealed some lingering pain in the right heel.
We’ll be set up in our usual spot so be sure and swing by to pick up race flyers for the Big Blue Run, Swamp Stomp 8K Trail Run, and Vala’s Trail of Terrors 5K.
If you’re a mate you can pick up your race packet at the tent and we are having our annual group picture at 8:40 this year so please plan your warm up accordingly. Race starts at 9:00 sharp!
Saturday will feature the venerable Bohemian Alps 50K. And the inaugural Wabash Trace Nature Trail Marathon. And for those of you going to the Apple Festival in Nebraska City, the AppleJack 5 Mile Fun Run. And the race you might not have heard of but already has 3000+ entrants, the Mud Run out at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch. Another event that has no local ties administratively, they go around scouting for ideal venues (and Vala’s is perfect) put on their novelty run/walk and then skedaddle with their pockets bursting. $65 entry fee plus another $10 to park. Can you tell I’m not a fan of these mega events?
At any rate, a little something for everyone this weekend.
The Bohemian Alps 50K is Very Hilly to say the least. I can’t imagine conquering 31 miles let alone on these monster rollers.
And today’s title? I see the hedgeapples are falling out near Serpent Ridge. Another sign that summer’s last gasp has expired.
